Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Head-Culture and Heart-Culture, or the Elementary Education Act Dissected The world is going mad upon intellect. One of our greatest living theologians has occupied his declining years in compiling a ´grammar of assent´ - observe, not of faith - as a panacea for scepticism; and one of our greatest living statesmen but the other day plumed himself on having invented a scheme for educating the masses in everything else but religion as a panacea for crime. Numbers have been sent to Bedlam again and again for aberrations of mind infinitely less serious in their consequences. Two Mephistophiles, acting in concert, could not have schemed more profoundly to send us all back to the woods. I am far from insinuating that either of them at all schemed with that object in view, or that both together have schemed alone. We are most of us bound hand-and-foot to the age in which we live: and the age in which we live, far from being a creative power, is bound hand-and-foot to the problems that were being discussed when it was young; to questions that had descended to it from former ages but half solved. Not one in a million of those whose boast it is to lead public opinion is an original thinker. Nobody can lead public opinion who is not a plagiarist, malgré lui. He must cater for the public, or he will not find hearers: he must speak to them in a language that they can understand, and deal with ideas with which they are familiar from childhood: he must talk to them of what they are thinking and interested about most.
