The word psychology is usually applied to mental processes as a whole, however I am want to use in a stricter sense–one that takes advantage of its constructive terms, psyche and logos. On these terms we may understand the word as Confucius or Plato would have, the will of man (psyche) effected through the correct use of language (logos).
Referring to the Two-Element Metaphysics we might see the mind composed, just like any other thing, of material and form. The material is emotion and the form applied to that emotion is reason.
Every environmental acquisition system of a living organism must obtain something from the environment, abstract an element from that which it has acquired and process, by adding the second element to that acquisition, producing something that maintains and promotes the life of that organism. The human mind is no different. As Plato and Confucius pointed out, we abstract form from the environment and apply these forms to our emotions in order to produce human will that maintains and promotes our life. Our digestive system crafts from the environment, our respiratory system crafts from the environment, etc, and so does our mind. An environmental acquisition system of a living organism is a crafting system and each has specific products to contribute to the life of the organism.
Since we each reside somewhere on a functional scale, as determined by our history, both genetic and personal, we effect our purpose as mind in various degrees. Every environmental acquisition system of a living organism can be rated against its products, thus its producing ability, or again against it’s function. This means that there are right and wrong products, I.e. the whole of human expression can be, is by fact, ratable in accordance to our expressions in regard to our environment. There is no such thing as “cultural” imperatives, religious imperatives, nor political imperatives–these are all illusions. Man qua man is man and mind qua mind is mind, thus having one, and only one definition and resposible for one and only one prduct.
Human behavior, just like the behavior of a rock, is, as it were, written in stone.
In order to attempt to promote humanity towards correct expression, it is then obvious that one must promote the correct understanding and use of language–even if it implies denigrating the respected heroes of society, we have, after all, only one method of doing our job and that is through the artifice of language. It can be seen, that there is no amount of formal education that produces someone linguistically competent–one cannot teach someone born lame to be a first rate runner. As it was written, we shall be a respecter of no person, nor god, but a respecter of our own work, our own job. Thus, what we often called bad behavoir is often judged againts errant standards. If man does not know the foundation and importance of language, nor can judge right and wrong, how in the hell can he be said to know good and evil in regard to his own expressions?
Now, I am expressing, currently on YouTube (Philosopher8659), a language that is new to man, however it is a universal language. The Two-Element Metaphysics should make one aware that there are two branches of language, one can call them Logic and Analogic, and likewise one should then realize that one is particular (logic) and one is universal (analogic). Properly effected, they must both produce the same results-it does not matter if we add material to form, or apply form to material, the results must be the same if we use the same givens. Common grammars are logical (or more correctly speaking proto-logical as man does not yet understand language), while, for example, geometry is analogical. The distinction goes back to what we should have been taught in biology, if we are given a form we must supply material for it, or if given material we must apply a form to it in order to make a product conducive to our survival.
Now, I am 61 years old and I have not found a mate for me yet, and when I produce works in philosophy, I believe it should be done in the media of the times.
