ABSTRACT
The Eastern contemplative emphasizes unity but scorns detail, whereas the Anglo Saxon empiricist dislikes generalizations which seem to go beyond the facts and is suspicious of ideas. People must pass beyond these prejudices and seek a way of thinking which gives equal status to general law and to particular facts. Equal emphasis must be given to the properties of wholes and of parts, and also to subject and object. There is throughout the world a hunger for timely ideas, hidden and unexpressed in China and Russia, half conscious in Europe, fully aware of itself in the United States, and pathological in California. Some patience is necessary in considering this new vista; everything cannot be seen at once; many difficulties in current thought have to be reexamined on a new basis; a new language and a new morphological way of reasoning have to be learned.
