| Abstract: | There are no panaceas and no shortcuts. Man is an amphibious being who lives simultaneously or successively in several universes:
in the world of matter, the world of mind, the world of spirit; in the individual world and in the social world; in the homemade
universe of his own artifacts, institutions, and imaginings, and in the given, the God-made universe of nature and grace.
In the very nature of things none of the major problems confronting such a being can possibly be a simple problem. Those who
seek simple solutions for complex problems may have the best of intentions; but unfortunately there is an original sin of
the intellect in our habit of arbitrary oversimplification. Those who act without taking precautions against this vice of
their intellectual nature doom themselves and their fellows to perpetual disappointment. (Aldous Huxley, 1953, p. 1.) |
