The ultimate motivating factor behind all of our behaviors, even if it's subconscious, would be something just as simple as the drive to survive. Is something like bodily survival, basic instincts, ingredient probably in everything we do? Yes, I would say, because we have bodies. And they have all of those instincts and impulses. But there's something that transcends the merely animal dimension of our life. It's revealed in things like hamlet and things like our quest, not just for a particular beautiful thing but for the source of beauty.
