 Having raised the issue of unconscious perceptions, we should consider also the question of unconscious appetitions. This is infrequently discussed, but the question should not be overlooked. Since appetitions are tendencies or strivings, ones which profoundly influence human actions, it is relevant whether or not an individual human is conscious of all of these strivings. Certainly, some have taken the possibility of urges of which we are not conscious as highly important for the proper understanding of individual humans and, indeed, of the human condition generally.
