Abstract (2. Language):
Human being can be considered as a two-storeyed structure. Vital cases
happen in the !irst storey; second storey is where socio-cullural behaviours
generating psychological and spiritual products appear. In reference to this, human
being has two names according to its double sides in some developed cultures'
languages -even though not in German-; in Latin this pair of concepls is Homo-I-Iumanus. -in Arabic Be~er-jnsan. Therefore human being is, as far as we know,
the only creature having this double feature. Other creatures, especially, like wolf,
dog. cal. monkey, elephant. horse, eagle, dolphin may have spiritual talk. What we
rnean by spiritual talk is an essential feature that presents itself independently
from innate behaviours.
