Greek antecedents of the 8 functions

About one year ago i made a video about this, in french and with some mistakes.

I might redo it in english, with the required corrections, at some point.

But for now i'm going to post a quick summary of it because i suspect it might help people who struggle with all the diverging definitions from one model to another.

So the thing is, Jung intuition didn't came out of nowhere.

He was very much "sitting on the shoulders of giants himself".

And in many ways, he does belong to a pretty ancient and pretty complicated line of inquiry that started 2500 years ago with greek philosophy.

Of course, i'm not suggesting that the Greeks knew about cognitive functions, per se, but they were already trying to move beyond the common notions of "folk psychology" and they were already "onto something".

To the point that some of the distinctions they made still correlate amazingly well with the distinctions Jung made, in a more systematized way, hundreds of years later.

If i'm right about this then...

Fe would correlate with Ethos

distinguished from Fi Pathos

Ti would correlate with Logos and Episteme

distinguished from Te Nomos and Techne

Ni would correlate with Gnosis and Telos

distinguished from Si Anamnesis and Mimesis

Ne would correlate with Eidos

distinguished from Se Kairos

Of course, those concepts were "spread" between lots of different philosophers, not conceptualized together, let alone in "axis" with each others.

But still, i suspect that going back to these ancient greek words might be helpful to understand some of the essence of cognitive functions.

I will expand on this later, after i adress more pressing issues with functions definitions.
But feel free to comment or ask questions already !
