The Differences in Attitudes There are four types of attitudes or methods of understanding in the human being. Animals share three of them and the fourth one belongs exclusively to the human being and this one causes the difference in attitude. Types of Attitudes 1. Perceptions: The direct understanding of perceptions. For example, a flower is placed before you. You see it.

That which you perceive in the color and shape of the flower is a result of the function of the power or faculty of perception. 2. Imagination: The indirect understanding of perceptions (the storage area of perceptions). For example, the flower you saw, when you come home, you still have it in recollection and you understand it.

In your home, no flower is before you for you to directly understand but it has been stored in your perceptions and it is something which you pay attention to without your mind. This is called the faculty of imagination. 3. Illusion: The understanding of a particular meaning. The word ‘meaning’ refers to anything which is not capable of externally being understood like kindness or hatred and the word 'particular' is in the sense of logic.

In logic it is said: Whenever a concept does not accept more than one truth, it is called particular and whenever it is possible that a concept have more than one truth, it is called 'universal'. For instance, 'this chair' brings a concept to mind which the insight into one truth does not accept. But 'chair’ brings multiple truths to mind. The first is particular and the second is universal. For example, to understand what illusion is, you come to know something, i.e.

your mother and father love you and you love them. This perception is called illusion. Thus, love is a meaning and also because it is not absolute (it is your love for them or their love for you). Thus it is particular. As we have said, the understanding of a particular meaning is called illusion. Summary of the Lesson Humanity without inclination to a school of thought of faith and following that cannot enter the life of a human being.

In a general sense, the human being differs in three basic, important dimensions with other animals: a. the dimension of insight and awareness; b. the dimension of tendency or inclinations; c. the dimension of acts. There are four types of comprehension in the human being, three of which they share with other animals. The three that arc shared are: a. perceptions, that is, the direct comprehension of sensibles; b.
