Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. The Primordial Dance: Diametric and Concentric Spaces in the Unconscious World (Downes 2012) highlights specific unconscious spatial structures projected into beliefs as prior frames actively organizing such beliefs. As purportedly dynamic a priori structures, prior to intuition, diametric and concentric spaces of relation in relation are developed from Heidegger's (1927) phenomenological concerns with a background level of being and from aspects of Lévi-Strauss structuralist anthropology, conceptually prior to cognitive schemata. These dynamically interacting concentric and diametric spatial systems are explored, here, in reconstructing key concepts in Gilligan's (1982) moral reasoning for neglected spatial aspects of Freud's psychoanalysis and Eastern thought. © 2015
