What seems to happen is that human curiosity combined with the ability to think in an Abstract way, lead to Mimesis , Fantasy and Imagination - eventually leading to an especially human way of thinking ("human Reason "), which is Abstract and Self Aware , or Conscious . This in turn allows most adult humans to rely heavily upon beliefs which they have learnt long before, but which might only be imagined to be correct. See Francis Bacon concerning " Idols ". MORBID CURIOSITY A morbid curiosity is a compulsion, fixed with excitement and fear, to know about macabre topics, such as Death and horrible Violence ( Snuff Film ). In a milder form, however, this can be understood as a Cathartic form of behaviour or as something instinctive within humans. According to Aristotle , in his Poetics Ch 4 we even “enjoy contemplating the most precise images of things whose sight is painful to us”. EXTERNAL LINKS |
