I agree… I meant “joy”
as in a religious joy, not normal happiness. My cats experience emotions
it seems – they are quite happy and very content (I’m guessing cuz
they’re purring away!) when they get lots of the attention they’re
constantly clamoring for! But they don’t have the spiritual
inclinations of a symbol-mongerer.
In the Helen Keller passage, which Percy
quotes in Message, in which she learns “water” as the word, the
symbol that is (not the sign, which she had already been using), she says she
experiences joy. Then she wants the name for everything, and goes into the
house, where she finds her doll which she had just broken earlier in a fit of
anger. She feels remorse and sorrow for the first time. I think
less that the emotions are “more complex” (quantitatively
different) and more that they are of a (qualitatively) different sort, that
related to self-consciousness, awareness of life and death, religious intuition
and capacities – the same thing as symbol-mongering capacity.
I did read Jaynes and commented on it in
an earlier posting (years ago?) in this list after I read it – mostly that
I thought I had read somewhere that Percy found Jaynes’ theories
interesting but I found that difficult to believe as I thought Jaynes was
really bizarre (though interesting).

Literary and Philosophical Discussion
Subject: Re: [percy-l] FW: Middle
creature
I hate to throw another monkey
wrench into this conversation, but I have to take exception to one segment of
Karey's otherwise fine argument. Karey wrote:
> Is it the characteristics of guilt, regret, redemption, joy, purpose,
> meaning - human psychological characteristics animals don't have? Humans
> obviously have that, animals don't. That's what Percy meant.
I've known dogs that clearly exhibit these emotions--perhaps not regret or
redemption, but certainly the others. When my childhood pet became
elderly, she also, like lots of elderly folks, had a bit of a problem with
incontinence. Her posture, position of her tail, and _expression_ were
indicative of the guilt she felt from having violated the rules that
housebroken dogs follow. Anyone with a dog understands the joy that dogs can
express. Furthermore, if we pay attention to the dogs that make their way
into Percy's novels, he, too, attributes such emotions to dogs. Allie's
dog in THE SECOND COMING looks away from Will in what Percy describes as
embarrassment. So, I don't think that it's emotions that Percy was thinking
about. At least, not simpler emotions.
If only I were in my office at work, I'd look this quote up. Since I'm not,
I'll try my hand at paraphrasing. In MESSAGE IN THE BOTTLE, maybe in "The
Delta Factor," he asserts that what sets humans apart is the ability to
symbolize--he coins a term "homo symbolificus" or something similar.
That we explain the world metaphorically and create art and believe in that
which can't be seen and use language to communicate it all makes us different
from animals. So it is the nature, the content, of our communication that
differs. I agree with this, based on my informal observations of the world,
putting me in the qualitative camp. Thinking it over, though, there's also a
quantitative aspect to this type of communication. We don't shut up.
Percy also reference Julian Jaynes "The Origin of Consciousness in the
Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind," which poses some interesting and highly
controversial theories regarding the development of the modern human brain,
which Jaynes asserts happened sometime between the writing of THE ILLIAD and
the writing of THE ODESSY. I wish I remembered more of Jaynes theory, but
it was read in a dissertation haze. Has anyone else read this? Any thoughts in
regard to Percy's language theory?
I haven't seen evidence that animals feel more complex, higher order, if you
will, emotions. For example, sehnsucht, the longing that Percy focuses on,
particularly in the Will Barrett novels, or the despair that Kierkegaard notes
in THE SICKNESS UNTO DEATH seem to be particularly human emotions. Both of
those emotions are religious in their origin. So in the end, perhaps it is our
relationship with God that most clearly separates us from the rest of creation.
This too, however, may not prove to be the case. Karey's pointed out that
animals seem to be more in tune with the spiritual dimension of existence.
Perhaps they are also in tune with evidence of God that humans cannot perceive.
