"Like many psychological words we use daily — soul, human, emotion, spirit, consciousness, feeling — instinct is more a metaphor, even if in conceptual dress, than a concept. Perhaps it is an idea in the original sense of that term where it meant “to see,” so that by means of this word “instinct” we are able to see certain kinds of behaviour, both looking upon it as an observer and looking into it, insighting it, as a participant. There is much spilled ink, and milk, about instinct, some regarding it as a primordial intelligence knowing more about life than we can ever learn, others taking it as the opposite of intelligence, something mechanical, archaic, and without any possibility for transformation. To it has been ascribed the best and the worst in human nature—and this gives us the hint for how we shall approach it here."
/Hillman, Pan and the Nightmare
man ļoti patīk, bet - tiešām 'to see'? jānočeko. tālāk no etimiloģijas vārdnīcas:
early 15c., "a prompting" (a sense now obsolete), from Old French instinct (14c.) or directly from Latin instinctus "instigation, impulse, inspiration," noun use of past participle of instinguere "to incite, impel," from in- "into, in, on, upon" (see in- (2)) + stinguere "prick, goad," from PIE *steig- "to prick, stick, pierce" (see stick (v.)).
Meaning "animal faculty of intuitive perception" is from mid-15c., from notion of "natural prompting." General sense of "natural tendency" is first recorded 1560s.
tālāk atsauce uz The Century Dictionary: An Encyclopedic Lexicon of the English Language (Volume III, published around 1889–1890):
"Instinct is said to be blind--that is, either the end is not consciously recognized by the animal, or the connection of the means with the end is not understood. Instinct is also, in general, somewhat deficient in instant adaptability to extraordinary circumstances.
piederu pie tiem, kas instinktus uzskata, kā Hilmans apraksta sākotnējā citātā "regarding it as a primordial intelligence knowing more about life than we can ever learn" jā, un man nav skaidrs kā var nonākt pie secinājuma, ka tas ir kkas akls, ja tas burtiski glābj dzīvības un tevi sargā katru dienu. (kā no apraksta 'intuitīva uztvere' 15.gs ir nonākts pie 'akluma' 19. gs?) mēs varbūt kaut ko neapzināmies un nesaprotam - tas demonstrē mūsu nezināšanu un aklumu, nevis akla ir bioloģiskā sistēma, kas tevi radīja un saudzēja, uzskatīt dabu par aklu ir pilnīgi ar kājām gaisā. |
