| | Abraham Maslow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Maslow's primary contribution to psychology is his Hierarchy of Human Needs, which he often presented as a pyramid. |
 | | In 2006 Maslow published a revision to his original 1954 pyramid[1], adding the cognitive needs (first the need to acquire knowledge, then the need to understand that knowledge) above the need for self-actualization, and the aesthetic needs (the needs for beauty, balance, structure, etc.) at the top of the pyramid. |
 | | Maslow also proposed that people who have reached self-actualization will sometimes experience a state he referred to as "transcendence", in which they become aware of not only their own fullest potential, but the fullest potential of human beings at large. |
