Alışkanlık Üzerine

In "On Habit", first published in 1838, Félix Ravaisson traces the origin and development process of habit and argues that habits are the basis of human nature. In "On Habit", one of the best and original studies on the subject, the metaphysical qualities of habit are written in full detail on the axis of materialism and idealism.

"On Habit", which influenced names such as Proust, Bergson, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Derrida and Deleuze, meets with readers again after many years.

"Like habit, instinct is a tendency directed towards a goal, without will and clear consciousness. The difference of instinct is that it involves less thought, is more irresistible, more decisive. Habit may never reach the certainty, necessity, perfect spontaneity of instinct, but it will always converge." .The difference between habit and instinct, that is, between habit and nature, is only one of degree, and this difference can be approximated to an infinitesimal extent.”
