THE PASSION AND THE SENSE OF EMOTIONS (ANTHROPOLOGICAL STUDY OF HUMAN STATES)

Abstract

Nothing I am going to write in the following pages will be at odds with
man's existential plan for all the historical times that have passed and which have
demonstrated, at some point, his downfall before the kingdoms with which he
cohabits. Science and technology have been, and continue to be, higher
manifestations of the evaluation of human curiosity: “In the first direct split of the
self-knowing absolute Spirit, its form takes on the character that belongs to
immediate consciousness, i.e. to sensible certainty. Spirit looks at itself in the form
of its being, but not in the form of mindless being, full of determinations
contingent on sensation, which belong to sensible certainty; this is being full of
spirit (...)” (Hegel, 1979:12).
Scientific research has proven, in a way, in the study of the interior of man's mind,
the state of passion as reality of imaginary images, that the one who is elevated
ruminates them in his mind and leaves them in the vertigo of the existential
journey of the telluric ego.
At some point on this energetic journey of the self, he's left alone with his thoughts,
with the faces and voices of those who once lived like him in the world of ideas.
We realize that they too believed, just as we believe now, in moments of great
nervous tension, that movement can prove the incomprehensible interplay of a
double existence, rising and falling from the heavens, with answers that can
illuminate or obscure reason.
The merit of every form of expression lies in the agitation of the self. Perhaps it's a
gift of the breath of the counter-image, which fluidizes all that is vivid. Every
situation experienced by human beings is directly proportional to the value or nonvalue of that situation. A fact that leads to equilibrium can create, at a given
moment, by the force of passion, a nonsense of life in the Universe. The result of all
these circumstances is man's actions.
