Species and Unconscious

Since Freud's concept of the Id, the 'Unconscious' has generally connoted some selfish drive, often sexual.  However, Spinoza offers a more comprehensive model of human motivation that shows that the Unconscious can transcend the individual Psyche.  For, on that model, where there is a distinction between Conscious and Unconscious, the latter is a Cause of which the former is an Inadequate Idea.  Furthermore, such a Cause can originate anywhere in Nature outside of the individual Mode.  Thus, though Spinoza does not specify them, the Unconscious can include any intra-Species drive, as well as any extra-Species influence.  The familiar example of the former is the reproductive drive, while the realm remains otherwise unknown, except possibly for a Will to Evolve.  In any case, Spinoza shows how 'Superid' might better characterize at least some of the Unconscious than 'Id'.
