| Underlying the choice of what aspect of reality, outer or inner, is more important to understand and control, is the complex of views about what reality is, what life within that reality is, what human life in particular is, what its purpose is and what its needs and prospects are. Without knowing the answers to these questions, if we just rush off and analyze aspects of the environment, modify what seems modifiable, and satisfy immediate needs without a long-term perspective, our procedure is not likely to succeed. In fact, it is a procedure that has already brought us to a very dubious and dangerous situation. | |||
