How much of the residue of the thinking of our predecessors still finds expression in our thinking today? By way of answering this point, we offer you the following example. Let us look at some of the pre-Socratic ideas about the nature of their world. The notion of animism which is a loosely woven thread through out the fabric of Greek thought presupposes a world In which it is inherent within the nature of objects to behave as they do - a world in which desires, purposes, intentions - are not limited to animate or even human agents; but which are characteristic of all objects distinguished in the product of the f1 filters - call it the epistemology of animism. Post- Freudian thinking would identify this process as a projection: the imposing of human attributes onto the inanimate world. There is little doubt that this unique way of perceiving the world is still alive and operating in a number of contexts even today as the following letter to the editor of Science News demonstrates:"It should surprise nobody that animism is popular among sophisticated adults in any culture, including our own... A firefighter facing a blazing building, prairie, forest or oil refinery has neither the time nor the means to develop a three-dimensional finite model to predict the fire's future evolution. It is much more efficient to model the fire as a hungry animal that can be stopped by depriving it of fuel to "eat" and air to "breathe".Charles Masi's remarks are perfectly congruent with the spirit of the core activity of NLP modeling. Не is proposing that this animistic epistemology is of utility in specific contexts where we are required to make responses to overwhelmingly complex phenomena under time pressure conditions where the decision we make may make the difference between disaster and success, even life and death.
Animism is the first resort of anyone trying to deal with a situation that is too complex or has too many unknowns to be modeled in a more "rational" way. When the chips are down, sophisticated adults use the best mental approach available, and really don't care whether theologians, psychologists or philosophers approve of it or not "Charlie Masi
