ABSTRACT
This book began with a conception of the nature of personality. Using it to understand readers reading enabled us to under stand much more: criticism, creating, teaching, or being a member of an audience. Finally, these particular interactions took us to a model of the way human beings apprehend the world and one another, how they retain in very specific terms a private and personal experience, but still reach agreements about a "real i ty" that we know only as a public consensus among private persons.
