"Some decades ago, Bateson pointed out that the use of the term "energy" in any but the strictly amount of work definition was at least suspect. Such an extension of the term into human or even living systems would require an explicit representation to avoid being a metaphor of the wrong logical type. " Moshe Feldenkrais made similar assertions regarding the use of "energy" as a metaphor in psychological theories and and in his own work. I believe "the potent self" has a nice summation of his views on this. |
