Paolo Soleri's Glossary of Terms |
Mind
That part of life
and knowledge which is engendered by organism but it is not
limited to or by the genetic knowledge.
Animals are intelligent but they are
not mindful. Culture is the phenomenon that the mind constructs,
founded of course upon the genetic experience and intelligence
of Homo Sapiens.
The flame that makes the mind unique
is reflection: the conscious and operational distinction between
the I and the not I. Of all the achievements of life this
may be the most astonishing and the most revolutionary. It
may entail the redirection of cosmos' evolution. |
