So when the ESF documents itself in man (as also in other organisms) preferentially under the image of animation, this does not mean that all objects to which an ESF has been attributed are therefore in the same way "animated". What we philosophically instructively mean by "soul" is merely a definite aspect of the ESF-al, while other, also very characteristic and ontologically important components are being rejected with indignation when the mind-like has been, in the sense of the humanities, characterized in definition (with careful "dissolution" of animal instincts, and others). The ESF of lower beings is, to us [by the humanities] located more or less completely under the mechanical [aspect of Nature] [is taken to be a mere mechanical phenomenon], and not taken to be as something essential. Viewing things in this way is simply a consequence of an historically formed economy of thinking and simplification of [data of] experience.
