Abstract

Hunger is a psychological state that serves physiological energy homeostasis. I argue that it is a pure underived desire to eat and examine its role in homeostasis. After scene-setting explanations of homeostasis and desire, I argue that hunger is a close phenomenological match with underived desire. Then, I show why desire is an apt instrument for energy homeostasis. Finally, I argue that energy homeostasis is a multi-factorial future-regarding behavioural strategy. Hunger is a special purpose sensory state that serves only to implement the strategy. Thus, it is a sensory desire. I conclude by reflecting on the credibility of this desire.
饥饿、平衡和欲望
饥饿是一种心理状态,为生理能量平衡服务。我认为饥饿是一种纯粹的进食欲望,并研究了它在能量平衡中的作用。在对能量平衡和欲望进行了场景设定的解释之后,我认为饥饿在现象学上与 "未充分激发的欲望 "非常吻合。然后,我说明了为什么欲望是能量平衡的合适工具。最后,我论证了能量平衡是一种多因素的未来行为策略。饥饿是一种特殊目的的感官状态,只用于实施该策略。因此,它是一种感官欲望。最后,我将对这种欲望的可信度进行反思。
