WHAT DOES HORME MEAN IN ENGLISH?

horme

Horme

Horme is the Greek spirit personifying energetic activity, impulse or effort, eagerness, setting oneself in motion, and starting an action, and particularly onrush in battle. She had an altar at Athens, where mainly the divine servants and relations of Zeus had altars. Her opposite character is Aergia, a goddess of sloth and apathy. The name 'horme' was adopted by Sir Percy Nunn to refer to all the purposive behaviours of an organism - whether conscious or not. He based this on a suggestion by Jung but saw it as having a wider significance than Jung's idea of relating the term to psychological values. Montessori made this a central point of her later thinking, stressing that the behaviour of the child was driven by an inner urge to self construct, to become the adult they were destined to be. This idea of the future drawing the child on was related to the Aristotelian concept of entelechy which would have formed an implicit part of her Thomist education as a devout Catholic. The concept, but not the name, has been developed by writers such as James Hillman where he applies the idea to adults and refers to it as 'destiny' or the individual's daemon.
