Pan¶
Psychology (Humanities), 1914
Entirely indiscriminate, amoral, promiscuous, undiscerning, indifferent.
The Greek word “pan” means “all” or “every”. In Pantheism, “all things” are god; in Panentheism, god is in all things and outside it. The idea of “pansexual” behaviour is derived from Freud’s theory of the Sex Instinct(libido) underlying all behaviour (Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1914), which was universally…panned.
