Understanding Metaneeds and Transcendence for Self-Actualization
Metaneeds and the Pursuit of Knowledge
The metaneeds and potential are the second set of motivational assumptions in the pursuit of knowledge.
The general principle of correlation between aspects of reality and human needs states that every aspect is actually a group of man has needs and vice versa.
Self-actualization needs are a third group of human needs that have to be correlated with a third aspect of reality.
It follows that man has needs of self and in turn to a third aspect.
The third aspect is obvious in nature and is not included in the bipolar, our place experiential:
- Immanence – reality as we find it in bipolarity.
- Transcendence – reality as beyond it.
The Immanent – All that has reality in so far as it is included in the bipolarity.
The transcendent – All that has reality to the extent that instead of being included in the bipolar, the beyond.
The third aspect can be applied the adjective “transcendent.”
The Difference Between Immanent and Transcendent
We can start being immanent patent because being included in our place experiential, our experiences can show us.
Transcendence – can not begin to be evident but their situation is the latency for not being included in our experiential place is not something that our experiences can not display.
The third aspect of reality, being transcendent is latent.
Self-actualization needs are identified as coming from the potential and its correlation with the transcendent aspect of reality or latent.
If something is latent is left in its latency then there is ignorance because, in this case the latent and the display shows no longer the unknown.
If placed in a position to know because then there patency in this case the latent and the display shows no longer the unknown.
The transcendent is latent and therefore if any, knowledge is placed in a position to have patency. But to be the transcendent placed in this situation should have discovered it.
The needs that motivate men to discover what are the needs of self-transcendent because only requirements are correlated with the transcendent aspect of reality.
The needs of self when running as needs to know, in the form of discovery needs.
Both deficiency needs as metaneeds can function as needs to know, but first take the form of domain needs, while the latter take discovery needs.
It is because these two forms are a consequence of the fact that they live within a reality that contains both the immanent and the transcendent, immanent can be managed but not the transcendent light and can be illuminated but not drive.
Denote the knowledge that provides the lighting to the expression meta-knowledge and is appropriate for the needs that motivate the search needs of deficiency are not as in the case of knowledge-instrument but metaneeds.
Although very few people come to get the goal-namely, those who seek can get an idea of the without having yet reached. This idea is something other than your own meta-knowledge, and therefore not satisfactory, but has an indicative value. Because this is important.
The meta-knowledge has any know a situation and an object. Exposing the idea of what that is.
The Goal to Know Your Situation
The man is with things in a situation of division.
This splitting determines a distinction between two situations of knowledge, one defined by the division and another defined by the inverse of her unit.
In the first situation, defined by the split, man can develop the knowledge-instrument, but can not get the meta-knowledge. For the meta-knowledge, man needs to transcend the division and placed in the second situation, defined by the unit.
The meta-knowledge can not be obtained in a situation defined by the split because as is the situation in which man develops knowledge-instrument is a situation defined by a negative, and in a situation defined by a negative, can not be obtained meta-knowledge, because the meta-knowledge implies perfection, and perfection is incompatible with the presence of something negative.
The situation defined by the unit is a situation where reality shows all its aspects, including the latent because as it moves in a fully accessible, reality shows about every other aspect, it shows all its aspects, including the latent. So some Greek thinkers was appointed to the term meaning aletheia unconcealment.
The subject of meta-knowledge is an object in the situation of division and accessible only within the opposite.
In this situation, the things that come their way, but do not perceive that they and we are part of a whole, because the division is inconsistent with everything.
Involves the whole unit is the opposite of splitting. But the situation of unity for the meta-knowledge, therefore, the object of knowledge is the whole goal bone as a holistic reality.
When knowledge becomes the goal instead of blaming know a particular area of reality, dealing with the whole of reality.
Aristotle ..
The meta-knowledge by having as its object the whole, must provide an illumination of the X aspect of reality because if this aspect of reality is no longer a whole and the purpose of meta-knowledge is everything.
Conclusion
The meta-knowledge lies about us men, at a distance because their situation is one in which we and the object is not any of those found.
Distance is the same as transcendence. The meta-knowledge is knowledge is as transcendent as neither refers to the reality as we find it in bipolarity, does not belong to us as we live in taking this as a framework .
The Greeks called “Sophia” to the wisdom
The Greeks called “Sophos” a wise man who owns it
Philo-sophia The term refers to the theoretical activity driven by the aspiration to
The term philosopher regards man he professes that activity
The philosophy coincides with the science to be a theoretical exercise, but it does not match the object of theoretical activity.
In the philosophy of theoretical activity in order to realize its object must be linked to a metaneeds and interior work in order to integrate the transcendent.
