Story故事
Breath, before psychology心理学之前的气息
Greek psykhē means breath, life, and the soul, the thing that leaves when breath leaves. English borrows the word for the inner life. Much later, psychology makes it the name of a discipline. The museum stops short of a founding date for that science. The word itself is older than the department.
There is nothing to take apart in English. Psyche arrives whole. Its interest is the chain of meanings: air, then the life the air sustained, then the soul, then the mind a modern person means by “inner life.”
Idea is a form. Psyche is a life. Intellect is a faculty. None of them is a translation of the others, which is why the mind needed all three.
希腊语 psykhē 是气息、生命和灵魂,是气息离开时一同离开的东西。英语借入这个词来表示内在的生命。很久以后,psychology 使它成为一门学科的名字。本馆不给那门科学钉一个创立年份。这个词本身比那个系更老。
在英语里没有什么可拆。psyche 整词到来。它的趣味是一串意思:空气,然后空气维持的生命,然后灵魂,然后现代人用“内在生活”所指的心灵。
idea 是一种形式。psyche 是一种生命。intellect 是一种能力。没有一个是另外一个的翻译,所以心灵需要这三个。
