ABSTRACT
Like its predecessor Contrary Imaginations, this book deals w ith differences in hum an intellect - differences, that is, in the ways in w hich
people think, in the frames o f m ind they characteristically adopt. M y
first study, eleven years ago, concerned arts specialists and scientists;
and this core o f interest in the arts and sciences has remained. B u t the
territo ry encompassed has w idened, and is w idening still. I now find
m yself dealing n o t only w ith the relation o f intellectual developm ent
to personality, b u t also w ith the academic context in w hich such de-
velopm ent takes place; n o t only w ith the reality o f the individual’s
situation, b u t also his perception o f it.
