The Cranberries - Animal Instinct: Shortened Version

Safari inspired jewelry has always been a fashionable way to subtly bring animal prints into your wardrobe, but animal jewelry this season offers so much more.

Wild animals such as cheetahs, leopards and jaguars are now being bejeweled with precious and faux gems to create eye-catching adornments in the form of bangle bracelets, stud earrings and statement cocktail rings. Insects such as crickets, ladybugs and butterflies are covered side-by-side in diamonds or cubic zirconia for glamorous sparkle. And birds are taking flight on precious metal cuffed bracelets and glittery brooches. The call of the wild is truly and beautifully translated into the latest fashion jewelry trends to hit the runways and the street scene this season.

One of the most popular trends right now is the butterfly. It’s popping up everywhere from cutout cuff bracelets to fun-loving pendant necklaces that can add a touch of youth to any casual outfit. We’re also seeing designers send out unique pieces that go out on a limb and incorporate animals such as armadillos and porcupines, for those daring enough to wear these creatures of the wild.

For summer jewelry styles, ocean animals of the deep such as starfish and tropical rainbow colored fish are ever-present in beautiful pendant necklaces and pins. They add an air of far off places and vacation get-a-ways to gauze fabrics and lightweight linen. Animal jewelry is so versatile; it can either be casual or dressy, art deco or geometric. Or, it can add an earthly feel or focal point to plain pieces such as khakis and denim.

If you’re wondering how you wear these fabulous pieces, let the jewelry speak for itself. Let your animal themed necklaces, earrings or bracelet take center stage and keep other accessories simple and understated. Let the call of the wild shine through, and you’ll be sure to be a fashion ‘Do’.

    I can't tell you of any specific philosophers, I'm sorry, but I should imagine some have. I don't think it is a problem for Hume, though.

    An empiricist can (and I think most do and would) believe that innate structures/faculties/instincts exist in animals, and even in humans. But this is different from an innate idea (as the concept seemed to exist at the time) – an innate idea is a propositional belief, whereas an instinct is just an innate tendency to do/feel/etc. something. C.f. Locke, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, I:ii:5: (on empiricists) "The capacity, they say, is innate; the knowledge acquired."

    However, I do think (and this may be your inclination as well) that it's not obvious as to what the difference between an innate idea and an innate faculty is. Certainly, some of the rationalists believed that some propositions, such as "Whatever is, is" were innate, and this is something Hume would have considered an innate idea (I think). But the fear that, say, a pigeon feels when it encounters a cat, even if it's never seen a cat in its life, may bring about a "belief" that cats are to be feared. Is this an innate idea? It's not obvious what the answer is.

    Essentially, I think it depends on what Hume takes to be the nature of animal instinct, and the nature of innate ideas. There is potentially some issue for Hume there, but it may not be.

    Hope that helps. If not, I can be contacted by email.
