Knowledge, Power, Wealth and Wisdom

Knowledge involves true belief and the realization of one’s own ignorance is the precondition for its attainment.Power is similar to distilled liquor; it will intoxicate and dim the judgment of even the most scrupulous men.Wealth is frequently associated with spiritual poverty and the distribution of wealth in any society exposes its lack of justice.Wisdom is combined with the trinity of values, which are, the absolute truth, the spirit of beauty and complete goodness.The man who is neither good nor wise remains self-satisfied. He has no desire to acquire that to which he feels no need.Aristotle insisted that life is the activity of the mind. Plato insisted that life is a preparation for death.

Mental English: Book One

This course of six books presents the student with a vocabulary of thousands of words, many of which will be unfamiliar to him. A basic conversation may be conducted in English with a total vocabulary of less than one thousand words. The 'average' citizen lives his life happily and successfully with a lot less than ten thousand words. It follows, therefore, that the person with a larger vocabulary than average will have a distinct advantage in life.These workbooks are designed to assist the would-be wordsmith in the acquisition of a larger-than-average vocabulary. They are suitable for working by the student of any age or level of ability, as well as those for whom English is a foreign language. English is the language of international travel and commerce and these books will provide a solid foundation for those who perceive 'average' as an insufficient level of attainment.

The End of Schooling

How much the prosperity of both individuals and nations would burgeon if only more funding could be provided for education is a popular contemporary view. Class sizes made smaller, curricula more expertly designed, teachers more wide-ranging in their interests and competence. This mechanistic outlook is challenged. Education, like pure art, seeks to fathom the world's depths without ever totally reaching its bedrock. Participants need to be ready for surprise. To be left feeling mystified, wondering, overwhelmed. In a Nature never still, each generation has to face environments in novel ways. Education's incomparable brief, then, is to deal with the real demands made on humanity. Definite answers are unavailable. Invitations are to share interminable journeying. To find delight in evanescent experiences. Not to seek arrival at supposedly perfect destinations.
