Literary notes about uninhibited (AI summary)

In literature, "uninhibited" is often used to evoke a sense of unbridled creativity and raw, natural sensation. For instance, in Santayana’s The Life of Reason [1], the term describes how an unfiltered, uninhibited sensation evolves into an instinctual drive to preserve that initial experience, ultimately giving birth to a new form of artistic expression. This usage captures both the spontaneous and transformative nature of human feeling, suggesting that when emotions are free from societal constraints, they can lead to profound shifts in perception and representation.
  1. Then imitation rounds itself out; an uninhibited sensation has become an instinct to keep that sensation alive, and plastic representation has begun.
    — from The Life of Reason: The Phases of Human Progress by George Santayana
