“‘the fittest may also be the gentlest, because survival often requires mutual help and cooperation’
“‘the fittest may also be the gentlest, because survival often requires mutual help and cooperation’
(Dobzhansky, 1962). According to Dobzhansky, it
is this capacity to cooperate that enabled the earliest
mammalian species to survive in a hostile world
dominated by physically larger and potentially
aggressive reptiles. Although unaware of Dobzhansky’s
major contributions, the publication that introduced
Polyvagal Theory was titled “Orienting in a defensive
world: Mammalian modifications of our evolutionary
heritage. A Polyvagal Theory” (Porges, 1995). In
retrospect, the title was a tribute to Dobzhansky’s
insightful statement that “nothing in biology makes
sense except in the light of evolution” (Dobzhansky,
1973).”

Gendlin refers to a coordinated or unseparated multiplicity
Gendlin refers to a coordinated or unseparated multiplicity
“There is an uncountable number of processes which make up the implicit understanding, which Gendlin refers to as a coordinated or unseparated multiplicity because they “cross” with one another due to how each process interaffects the others depending on the relevance of the occurrence to each.’ … ‘Of particular interest is the sophistication of the implicit understanding, which incorporates a wide variety of possible behaviors and the effect of each on the other in any given situation. ‘ … ‘The implicit understanding implies that a certain event will occur at the center of attention, but whether that indeed occurs depends on body-environmental conditions being suitable for that occurrence.’ –– Draft Chapter 2 The Hermeneutical Circle.
