Human energy
In human thermodynamics, human energy is a difficult to define term related to either an attribution or measurement of the energy state of an individual person. The earliest views on types of human energies include the 19th century energy psychologist conceptions of “psychic” or psychological energy. Other views include conceptions on the definition of the person as a “human motor” and its associated energy, as well as sexual energy, physical energy, in general. In 1953, French philosopher Pierre Teilhard explicitly defined human energy as “the sum total of physico-chemical energies either simply incorporated in or at a higher degree of assimilation cerebralized in, the human planetary mass at a given moment: the mass in question being considered in its linked totality, not only of its biological constituents, but also of its artificially constructed mechanisms. [1]
