SINCE modern education outgrew the “faculty” or pigeonhole psychology, at about the turn of the century, the problem of teaching in any field, whether astrology or economics, has been to equip the student with a means for organizing his understanding, and at the same time to pre-vent him from tucking facts and relations away in neat little packages, under the old classical notion that a living and liquid universe can be expected to hold some static form. Nature is experienced, rather than charted. No one can ever subtract himself from the world, even momen-tarily, to observe its workings from the outside. Experience sorts out facets of a whole existence, and shows them sep-arate or absolute for the instant, but this is not a revela-tion of realities. Rather, these aspects of experience have been abstracted from the whole according to individual desire or necessity.
