be said and
am thereby led to wonder whether its claim to cognition can possibly

is often phrased, or to the meaning of
human life, or to the point of man's existential situation, there

human level of existence when required conditions
are present.
How far this creativity can
go in creating the
human level in the case of any one individual depends partly upon his innate capacity but most of all upon two
other features: (1) how wide and deep
is the volume of history that reaches him, that
is, how abundant and coherent
are the values that have
been accumulated in the history he inherits and (2) how deep
