Publisher's Synopsis
This is a unique and interesting treatment of the way knowledge is advanced. Knowledge gives increasing control of the environment, making it possible for the organism to surmount obstacles and to escape dangers to which ignorance would succumb. The author has thought himself through an unusual series of mental and environmental activities.
He is positive that if education is to be a preparation for the work of life it should train the learner in the method of acquiring and testing knowledge for himself.
