The brain neither sees, nor is blind – just as sticks and stones are not awake, but they are not asleep either. The brain does not hear, but it is not deaf, any more than trees are deaf. The brain makes no decisions, but neither is it indecisive. Only what can decide can be indecisive. So, too, the brain cannot be conscious; only the living creature whose brain it is can be conscious – or unconscious. The brain is not a logically appropriate subject for psychological predicates. The resultant combination of words does not say something that is false; rather it says nothing at all, for it lacks sense.
Bennett and Hacker 2003 p72
The volume of education continues to increase, yet so do pollution, exhaustion of resources, and the dangers of ecological catastrophe. If still more education is to save us, it would have to be education of a different kind: an education that takes us into the depth of things.
EF Schumacher
We know nothing of man, far too little. His psyche should be studied, because we are the origin of all coming evil.
C.G.Jung
