often mean that its positives are insufficiently regarded by opposing schools. The grand
positives of Bent ham were benevolence and veracity: the passion for the relief of mans estate,
and the passion for truth. Bent hams multifarious activities, pursued without abatement to the
end of a long life, wee inspired by a "dominant and all-comprehensive desire for the
amelioration of human life"; they wee inspired, too, by the belief that he had found the key to all
moral truth. This institution, this custom, this code, this system of legislation-- does it promote
human happiness? Then it is sound. This theory, this creed, this moral teaching does it rightly
explain why virtue is admirable, or why duty is obligatory? The limitation of Bent ham can be
gauged by his dismissal of all poetry (and most religion) as "misrepresentation; this is his
negative side. But benevolence and veracity are Supreme Values, and if it falls to one of the
deniers to be their special advocate, the believers must have long been drowsed. Bent ham
believes the Church teaches children insincerity by making them affirm what they cannot
possibly understand or mean. They promise, for example, to fulfill the undertaking of their god---
parents, that they will "renounce the devil and all his works, the pomps and vanity of this wicked
world" etc. The Devil" Bent ham comments: " who or what is he, and how is it that he is
renounced?" Has the child happened to have any dealings with him? Let the Archbishop of
Canterbury tell us, and let him further explain how his own "works" are distinguished from the
aforesaid "Pomps and Vanity". What king, what Lords Temporal or Spiritual, have ever
renounced them? (Basil Willey)

Poetry is the language of imagination and the passions. It relates to whatever gives immediate
pleasure or pain to human min. it comes home to the bosoms and business of men: for nothing
but what comes home to them in the most general and intelligible shape can be a subject of
poetry. Poetry is the universal language which the heart holds with nature and itself. He who has
a contempt for poetry cannot have much respect for himself or for anything else. Whatever there
is a sense of beauty, or power, or harmony, as in the motion of the waves of the sea, in the
growth of a flower, there is poetry in its birth. If history is a grave study, poetry may be said to be
graver, its materials lie deeper, and are spread wider. History treats, for the most part,
cumbersome and unwieldy masses of things, the empty cases in which the affairs of the world
are packed, under the heads of intrigue or war, in different states, and from century to century
but there is no thought or feeling that can have entered into the mind of man which he would be
eager to communicate to others, or they would listen to with delight, that is not a fit subject for
poetry. It is not a branch of authorship: it is the stuff of which our life is made. The rest is mere
oblivision, a dead letter, for all that is worth remembering gin life is the poetry of it. Fear is
Poetry, hope is poetry, love is poetry; hatred is poetry. Poetry is that fine particle within us that
expands, refines, raises our whole being; without mans life is poor as beasts. In fact, man is a
poetical animal. The child Is a poet when he first plays hide and seek, or repeats the story of
Jack the Giant Killer, the shepherd boy is a poet when he first crowns his mistress with a
garland of flowers; the countryman when he stops he stops to look at the rainbow; the miser
when he hugs his gold; the courtier when he builds his hope upon a smile; the vain, the
ambitious the proud, the choleric man, the hero and the coward, the beggar and the king, all live
in a world of their own making; and the poet does no more than describe what all others think
and act. Hazlitt

There is indeed, something inexpressibly pleasing in the annual renovation of the world and the
new display of the treasures of nature. The darkness and cold of winter with the naked deformity
of every object, on which we turn our eyes, make us rejoice at the succeeding season, as well
for what we have escaped, as for what we may enjoy. Every budding Flower, which a warm
situation brings early to our view, is considered by us a messenger to notify the approach of
more joyous days.
The spring affords to a mind free from the disturbance of cares or passions almost everything
that our present state makes us capable of enjoying. The Variegated Verdure of the fields and
woods, the succession of grateful Odours, the Voice of pleasure pouring out its notes on every
side, with the gladness apparently conceived by every animal from the growth of leis food and
the clemency of the weather, throw over the whole earth an air of gaiety, significantly expressed
by Smile of nature.
(Samuel John Son)

My father was back in work within days of his return home. He had a spell in the shipyard,
where the last of the great Belfast liners, the CANBERRA, was under construction, and then
moved to an electronics firm in the east of the city. (These were the days when computers were
the size of small houses and were built by sheet metal workers). A short time after he started in
this job, one of his colleagues was sacked for taking off time to get married. The workforce went
on strike to get the colleague reinstated. The dispute, dubbed the Honeymoon Strike, made the
Belfast papers. My mother told me not long ago that she and my father, with four young sons,
were hit so hard by that strike, that for years afterwards they were financially speaking, running
to stand still. I don't know how the strike ended, but whether or not the colleague got his old job
back, he was soon in another, better one. I remember visiting. him and his wife when I was still
quite young, in their new bungalow in Belfast northern suburbs. I believe they left Belfast soon
after the Troubles began.
My father then was thirty-seven, the age I am today. My Hither and I are father and son, which is
to say we are close without knowing very much about one another. We talk about events, rather
than emotions. We keep from each other certain of our hopes and fears and doubts. I have
never for instance asked my father whether he has dwelt on (he direction his life might have
taken if at certain moments he had made certain other choices. Whatever, he found himself,
with a million and a half of his fellows; living in what was in all but name a civil war. As a grown
up 1 try often to imagine what it must be like to be faced with such a situation. What, in the
previous course of your life, prepares your for arriving, as my father did, at the scene of a bomb
blast close to your brother's place of work and seeing what you suppose, from the colour of the
hair, to be your brother lying in the road, only to find that you arc cradling the remains of a
woman? (Glciin Patterson)

We look before and after, wrote Shelley, and pine for what is not. It is said that this is what
distinguishes us from the animals and that they, unlike us, live always for and in the movement
and have neither hopes nor regrets. Whether it is so or not I do not know yet it is undoubtedly
one of our distinguishing mental attributes: we are actually conscious of our life in time and not
merely of our life at the moment of experiencing it. And as a result we find many grounds for
melancholy and foreboding. Some of us prostrate ourselves on the road way in Trafalgar Square
or in front of the American Embassy because we are fearful that our lives, or more
disinterestedly those of our descendants will be cut short by nuclear war. If only as" squirrels or
butterflies are supposed to do, we could let the future look after itself and be content to enjoy the
pleasures of the morning breakfast, the brisk walk to the office through autumnal mist or winter
fog, the mid-day sunshine that sometimes floods through windows, the warm, peaceful winter
evenings by the fireside at home. Yet all occasions for contentment are so often spoiled for us,
to a greater or lesser degree by our individual temperaments, by this strange human capacity for
foreboding and regret - regret for things which we cannot undo and foreboding for things which
may never happen at all. Indeed were it not for the fact that over breaking through our human
obsessions with the tragedy of time, so enabling us to enjoy at any rate some fleeting moments
untroubled by vain yearning or apprehension, our life would not be intolerable at all. As it is, we
contrive every one of us, to spoil it to a remarkable degree.
Questions:
1) What is the difference between our life and the life of an animal?
2) What is the result of human anxiety?
3) How does the writer compare man to the butterflies and squirrels?
4) How does anxiety about future disturb our daily life?

5) How can we make our life tolerable?
My father loved all instruments that would instruct and fascinate. His place to keep things was
the drawer in the library table where lying on top of his folder map was a telescope with brass
extensions, to find the moon and the Big Dripper after supper in our front yard, and to keep
appointments with eclipses. In the back of the drawer you could find a magnifying glass, a
kaleidoscope and a gyroscope kept in black buckram box, which he would set dancing for us on
a string pulled tight. He had also supplied himself with an assortment of puzzles composed of
metal rings and intersecting links and keys chained together, impossible for the rest of us,
however, patiently shown, to take apart, he had an almost childlike love of the ingenious. In
time, a barometer was added to our dining room wall, but we didnt really need it. My father had
the country boys accurate knowledge of the weather and its skies. He went out and stood on
our front steps first thing in the morning an took a good look at it and a sniff. He was a pretty
good weather prophet. He told us children what to do if we were lost in a strange country. Look
for where the sky is brightest along the horizon, he said. That reflects the nearest river. Strike
out for a rive and you will find habitation. Eventualities were much on his mind. In his care for us
children he cautioned us to take measures against such things as being struck by lightening. He
drew us all away from the windows during the severe electrical storms that are common where
we live. My mother stood apart, scoffing at caution as a character failing. So I developed a
strong meteorological sensibility. In years ahead when I wrote stories, atmosphere took its
influential role from the start. Commotion in the weather and the inner feelings aroused by such
a hovering disturbance emerged connected in dramatic form.
1) Why did the writers father spend time studying the skies?
2) Why the writer thinks that there was no need of a barometer?
3) What does the bright horizon meant for the writers father?
4) How did her father influence the writer in her later years?
5) Explains the underlined words and phrases in the passage.
Elegant economy! How naturally one fold back into the phraseology of Cranford! There
economy was always elegant, and money-spending always Vulgar and Ostentation; a sort of
sour grapeism which made up very peaceful and satisfied I shall never forget the dismay felt
when certain Captain Brown came to live at Cranford, and openly spoke of his being poor __ not
in a whisper to an intimate friend, the doors and windows being previously closed, but in the
public street! in a loud military voice! Alleging his poverty as a reason for not taking a particular
house. The ladies of Cranford were already moving over the invasion of their territories by a
man and a gentleman. He was a half-pay captain, and had obtained some situation on a
neighboring rail-road, which had been vehemently petitioned against by the little town; and if in
addition to his masculine gender, and his connection with the obnoxious railroad, he was so
brazen as to talk of his being poor __ why, then indeed, he must be sent to Coventry. Death was
as true and as common as poverty; yet people never spoke about that loud on the streets. It
was a word not to be mentioned to ears polite. We had tacitly agreed to ignore that any with
whom we associated on terms of visiting equality could ever be prevented by poverty from doing
anything they wished. If we walked to or from a party, it was because the weather was so fine,
or the air so refreshing, not because sedan chairs were expensive. If we wore prints instead of
summer silks, it was because we preferred a washing material; and so on, till we blinded
ourselves to the vulgar fact that we were, all of us, people of very moderate means.
Questions:
1) Give in thirty of your own words what we learn from this passage of Captain Brown.
2) Why did the ladies of Cranford dislike the Captain?
3) What reasons were given by the ladies of Cranford for not doing anything that they wished?
4) Ears Polite. How do you justify this construction?
5) What is the meaning and implication of the phrases?

(a) Sour-grapeism
(b) The invasion of their territories
(c) Sent to Coventry
(d) Tacitly agreed

Strong section of industrials that still imagine that men can be mere machines and are at their
best as machines if they are mere machines are already menacing what they call useless
education. They deride the classics, and they are mildly contemptuous of history, philosophy,
and English. They want our educational institutions, from the oldest universities to the youngest
elementary schools, to concentrate on business or the things that are patently useful in
business. Technical instruction is to be provided for adolescent artisans; book keeping and
shorthand for prospective clerks; and the cleverest we are to set to business methods, to
modern languages (which can be used in correspondence with foreign firms), and to science
(which can be applied to industry). French and German are the languages, not of Montaigne
and Gorthe, but of Schmidt Brothers, of Elberfeld and Dupont et Cie of Lyons. Chemistry and
Physics are not explorations into the physical constitution of the universe, but sources of new
dyes, new electric light filaments, new means of making things which can be sold cheap and
fast to the Nigerian and the Chinese. For Latin there is a Limited field so long as the druggists
insist on retaining it in their prescriptions. Greek has no apparent use at all, unless it is as a
source of syllables for the hybrid names of patent medicines and metal polishes. The soul of
man, the spiritual basis of civilization- what gibberish is that?
Questions:
1) what kind of education does the writer deal with?
2) What kind of education does the writer favour? How do you know?
3) Where does the writer express most bitterly his feelings about the neglect of the classics?
4) Explain as carefully as you can the full significance of the last sentence.
5) Explain the underlined words and phrases in the passage.

These phenomena, however, are merely premonitions of a coming storm, which is likely to
sweep over the whole of India and the rest of Asia. This is the inevitable outcome of a wholly
political civilization, which has looked upon man as a thing to be exploited and not as a
personality to be developed and enlarged by purely cultural forces. The people of Asia are
bound to rise against the acquisitive economy which the West have developed and imposed
on the nations of the East. Asia cannot comprehend modern Western capitalism with its
undisciplined individualism. The faith, which you represent, recognizes the worth of the
individual, and disciplines him to give away all to the service of God and man. Its possibilities
are not yet exhausted. It can still create a new world where the social rank of man is not
determined by his caste or colour or the amount of dividend he earns, but by the kind of life he
lives, where the poor tax the rich, where human society is founded not on the equality of
stomachs but on the equality of spirits, where an untouchable can marry the daughter of the
king, where private ownership is a trust and where capital cannot be allowed to accumulate so
as to dominate that real producer of wealth. This superb idealism of your faith, however, needs
emancipation from the medieval fancies of theologians and logiest? Spiritually, we are living in a
prison house of thoughts and emotions, which during the course of centuries we have woven
round ourselves. And be it further said to the shame of usmen of older generationthat we
have failed to equip the younger generation for the economic, political and even religious crisis
that the present age is likely to bring. The while community needs a complete overhauling of its
present mentality in order that it may again become capable of feeling the urge of fresh desires
and ideals. The Indian Muslim has long ceased to explore the depths of his own inner life. The
result is that he has ceased to live in the full glow and colour of life, and is consequently in
danger of an unmanly compromise with force, which he is made to think he cannot vanquish in
open conflict. He who desires to change an unfavourable environment must undergo a complete
transformation of his inner being. God changes not the condition of a people until they
themselves take the initiative to change their condition by constantly illuminating the zone of
their daily activity in the light of a definite ideal. Nothing can be achieved without a firm faith in
the independence of ones own inner life. This faith alone keeps a peoples eye fixed on their
goal and save them from perpetual vacillation. The lesson that past experiences has brought
to you must be taken to heart. Expect nothing form any side. Concentrate your whole ego on
yourself alone and ripen your clay into real manhood if you wish to see your aspiration realized.
Questions:
1) What is the chief characteristic of the modern political civilization?
2) What are possibilities of our Faith, which can be of advantage to the world?
3) What is the chief danger confronting the superb idealism of our Faith?
4) Why is the Indian Muslim in danger of coming to an unmanly compromise with the Forces
opposing him?
5) What is necessary for an achievement?
6) Explain the expression as highlighted/under lined in the passage.
7) Suggest an appropriate title to the passage.

It is very nature of helicopter that is great versatility is found. To begin with, the helicopter is the
fulfillment of tone of mans earliest and most fantastic dreams. The dream of flying not just like
a bird but of flying as nothing else flies or has ever flown. To be able to fly straight up and
straight down to fly forward or back or sidewise, or to hover over and spot till the fuel supply is
exhausted.
To see how the helicopter can do things that are not possible for the conventional fixed-wing
plane, let us first examine how a conventional plane works. It works by its shape by the
shape of its wing, which deflects air when the plane is in motion. That is possible because air
has density and resistance. It reacts to force. The wing is curved and set at an angle to catch
the air and push it down; the air, resisting, pushes against the under surface of the wing, giving it
some f its lift. At the same time the curved upper surface of the wing exerts suction, tending to
create a lack of air at the top of the wing. The air, again resisting, sucks back, and this give the
wing about twice as much lift as the air pressure below the wing. This is what takes place when
the wing is pulled forward by propellers or pushed forward by jet blasts. Without the motion the
wing has no lift.
Questions:
1) Where is the great versatility of the helicopter found?
2) What is the dream of flying?
3) What does the wing of the conventional aircraft do?
4) What does the curved upper surface of the wing do?
5) What gives the wing twice as much lift?

And still it moves. The words of Galileo, murmured when the tortures of the Inquisition had
driven him to recant the Truth he knew, apply in a new way to our world today. Sometimes, in
the knowledge of all that has been discovered, all that has been done to make life on the planet
happier and more worthy, we may be tempted to settle down to enjoy our heritage. That would,
indeed, be the betrayal of our trust.
These men and women of the past have given everything comfort, time, treasure, peace of mind
and body, life itself that we might live as we do. The challenge to each one of us is to carry on
their work for the sake of future generations.
The adventurous human mind must not falter. still must we question the old truths and work for
the new ones. Still must we risk scorn, cynicism, neglect, loneliness, poverty, persecution, if
need be. We must shut our ears to easy voice which tells us that human nature will never alter
as an excuse for doing nothing to make life more worthy.
Thus will the course of the history of mankind go onward, and the world we know move into a
new splendour for those who are yet to be.
Questions:
1) What made Galileo recant the Truth he knew?
2) What is the heritage being alluded to in the first paragraph?
3) What does the 'betrayal of our trust' imply?
4) Why do we need to question the old truths and work for the new ones?
5) Explain the words or expressions as highlighted/underlined in the passage.

Besant describing the middle class of the 9th century wrote In the first place it was for more a
class apart. In no sense did it belong to society. Men in professions of any kind (except in the
Army and Navy) could only belong to society by right of birth and family connections; men in
tradebankers were still accounted tradesmencould not possibly belong to society. That is to
say, if they went to live in the country they were not called upon by the county families and in the
town they were not admitted by the men into their clubs or by ladies into their houses The
middle class knew its own place, respected itself, made its own society for itself, and cheerfully
accorded to rank the deference due."
Since then, however, the life of the middle classes had undergone great changes as their
numbers had swelled and their influence had increased.
Their already well developed consciousness of their own importance had deepened. More
critical than they had been in the past of certain aspects of aristocratic life, they wee also more
concerned with the plight of the poor and the importance of their own values of society, thrift,
hand work, piety and respectability thrift, hand work, piety and respectability as examples of
ideal behavior for the guidance of the lower orders. Above all they were respectable. There were
divergences of opinion as to what exactly was respectable and what was not. There were,
nevertheless, certain conventions, which were universally recognized: wild and drunker
behaviors were certainly not respectable, nor were godlessness or avert promiscuity, not an ill-
ordered home life, unconventional manners, self-indulgence or flamboyant clothes and personal
adornments.

It was not from want of perceiving the beauty of external nature but from the different way of
perceiving it, that the early Greeks did not turn their genius to portray, either in colour or in
poetry, the outlines, the hues, and contrasts of all fair valley, and hold cliffs, and golden moons,
and rosy lawns which their beautiful country affords in lavish abundance.
Primitive people never so far as I know, enjoy when is called the picturesque in nature, wild
forests, beetling cliffs, reaches of Alpine snow are with them great hindrances to human
intercourse, and difficulties in the way of agriculture. They are furthermore the homes of the
enemies of mankind, of the eagle, the wolf, or the tiger, and are most dangerous in times of
earthquake or tempest. Hence the grand and striking features of nature are at first looked upon
with fear and dislike.
I do not suppose that Greeks different in the respect from other people, except that the frequent
occurrence of mountains and forests made agriculture peculiarly difficult and intercourse scanty,
thus increasing their dislike for the apparently reckless waste in nature. We have even in Homer
a similar feeling as regards the sea, --- the sea that proved the source of all their wealth and the
condition of most of their greatness. Before they had learned all this, they called it the
Unvintagable Sea and looked upon its shore as merely so much waste land. We can, therefore,
easily understand, how in the first beginning of Greek art, the representation of wild landscape
would find no place, whereas, fruitful fields did not suggest themselves as more than the
ordinary background. Art in those days was struggling with material nature to which it felt a
certain antagonism.
There was nothing in the social circumstances of the Greeks to produce any revolution in this
attitude during their greatest days. The Greek republics were small towns where the pressure of
the city life was not felt. But as soon as the days of the Greeks republics were over, the men
began to congregate for imperial purposes into Antioch, or Alexandria, or lastly into Rome, than
we seek the effect of noise and dust and smoke and turmoil breaking out into the natural longing
for rural rest and retirement so that from Alexanders day We find all kinds of authors ---
epic poets, lyricist, novelists and preachers --- agreeing in the precise of nature, its rich colours,
and its varied sounds. Mohaffy: Rambles in Greece

If then a practical end must be assigned to a University course, I say it is that of training good
members of a society. Its ah is the art of social life, and its end is fitness for the world. It neither
confines its views to particular professions on the one hand, not creates heroes or inspires
genius on the other. Works indeed of genius fall under no art; heroic minds come under no rule;
a University is not a birthplace of poets or of immortal authors, of founders of schools, leaders of
colonies, or conquerors of nations. It does not promise a generation of Aristotle or Newtons of
Napoleons or Washingtons of Raphaels or Shakespeares though such miracles of nature it
has before now contained within its precincts. Nor is it content on the other hand with forming
the critic or the experimentalist, the economist or the engineer, through such too it includes
within its scope. But University training is the great ordinary means to a great ordinary end; it
aims at raising the intellectual tone of society, at cultivating the public mind, at purifying the
national taste, at supplying true principles to popular aspirations. It is the education which gives
a man a clear conscious view of his own opinions and judgments, a truth in developing them, an
eloquence in expressing them, and a force in urging them, ft teaches him to sec things as they
arc, to go right to the point, to disentangle a skein of thought, to detect what is sophistical and to
- discard what is irrelevant. It prepares him to fill any post with credit, and to master any subject
with facility. (John H. Newman)

We're dealing with a very dramatic and very fundamental paradigm shift here. You may try" to
lubricate your' social interactions with personality techniques and skills, but in the process, you
may truncate the vital character base. You can't have the fruits without the roots. It's the
principle of sequencing: Private victory precedes Public Victory. Self-mastery and self-discipline
are the foundation of good relationship with others. Some people say that you have to like
yourself before you can like others. I think' that idea has merit but if you don't know yourself, if
you don't control yourself, if you don't have mastery over yourself, it's very hard to like yourself,
except in some short-term, psych-up, superficial way. Real self-respect comes from dominion
over*self from true independence. Independence is an achievement. Inter dependence is a
choice only independent people can make. Unless we are willing to achieve real independence,
it's foolish to try to develop human relations skills. We might try. We might even have some
degree of success when the sun is shining. But when the difficult times come - and they will -
We won't have the foundation to keep things together. The most important ingredient we put into
any relationship is not what we say or what we do, but what we are. And if our words and our
actions come from superficial human relations techniques (the Personality Ethic) rather than
from our own inner core (the character Ethic), others will sense that duplicity. We simply won't
be able to create and sustain the foundation necessary" for effective interdependence. The
techniques and skills that really make a difference in human interaction are the ones that almost
naturally flow from a truly independent character. So the place to begin building any relationship
is inside ourselves, inside our Circle of Influence, our own character. As we become
independent - Proactive, centered in correct principles, value driven and able to organize and
execute around the priorities in our life with integrity - we then can choose to become
interdependent - capable of building rich, enduring, highly productive relationships with other
people.

Basically, psychoses and neuroses represent mans inability to maintain a balanced or equated
polarity in conducting his life. The ego becomes exclusively or decidedly one sided. In
psychoses there is a complete collapse of the ego back into the inner recesses of the personal
and collective unconsciousness. When he is repressed toward fulfilling some life goal and where
he is further unable to sublimate himself toward another goal, man regresses into goal
structures not actually acceptable to himself or to the society. Strong emotional sickness of the
psychotic type is like having the shadow run wild. The entire psyche regresses to archaic,
animal forms of behaviors. In less severe forms of emotional sickness there may be an
accentuated and overpowering use of one of the four mental functions at the expense of the
other three. Either thinking, feeling, intuiting or seeing may assume such a superior role as to
render the other three inoperative. The persona may become so dominant as to create a totally
one-sided ego, as in some forms of neurotic behavior. All in all, whatever the type of severity of
the emotional disorder, it can be taken as a failure of the psyche to maintain a proper balance
between the polarities of life. Essentially, psychoses and neuroses are an alienation of the self
from its true goal of self actualization. In this sense the culture is of no consequence. Emotional
disorder is not a question of being out of tune with ones culture so much as it is of being out of
tune with ones self. Consequently, neurosis is more than bizarre behavior, especially as it may
be interpreted by contemporaries in the culture. This interpretation avoids the sociological
question of what is a mental disorder, since form of behavior which is acceptable in one culture
may be considered neurotic in other culture. To Jung, the deviation from cultural norms is not
the point. The inability to balance out personal polarities is.

It was not so in Greece, where philosophers professed less, and undertook more. Parmenides
pondered nebulously over the mystery of knowledge; but the pre-Socratics kept their eyes with
fair consistency upon the firm earth, and sought to ferret out its secrets by observation and
experience, rather than to create it by exuding dialectic; there were not many introverts among
the Greeks. Picture Democritus, the Laughing Philosopher; would he not be perilous company
for the desiccated scholastics who have made the disputes about the reality of the external
world take the place of medieval discourses on the number of angles that could sit on the point
of a pin? Picture Thales, who met the challenge that philosophers were numskulls by cornering
the market and making a fortune in a year. Picture Anaxagoras, who did the work of Darwin for
the Greeks and turned Pericles form a wire-pulling politician into a thinker and a statesman,
Picture old Socrates, unafraid of the sun or the stars, gaily corrupting young men and
overturning governments; what would he have done to these bespectacled seedless
philosophasters who now litter the court of the once great Queen? To Plato, as to these virile
predecessors, epistemology was but the vestibule of philosophy, akin to the preliminaries of
love; it was pleasant enough for a while, but it was far from the creative consummation that drew
wisdoms lover on. Here and there in the shorter dialogues, the Master dallied amorously with
the problems of perception, thought, and knowledge; but in his more spacious moments he
spread his vision over larger fields, built himself ideal states and brooded over the nature and
destiny of man. And finally in Aristotle philosophy was honoured in all her boundless scope and
majesty; all her mansions were explored and made beautiful with order; here every problem
found a place and every science brought its toll to wisdom. These men knew that the function of
philosophy was not to bury herself in the obscure retreats of epistemology, but to come forth
bravely into every realm of inquiry, and gather up all knowledge for the coordination and
illumination of human character and human life.

The author of a work of imagination is trying to effect us wholly, as human beings, whether he
knows it or not; and we are affected by it, as human beings, whether we intend to be or not. I
suppose that everything we eat has some effect upon us than merely the pleasure of taste and
mastication; it affects us during the process of assimilation and digestion; and I believe that
exactly the same is true of any thing we read.
The fact that what we read does not concern merely something called our literary taste, but that
it affects directly, though only amongst many other influences , the whole of what we are, is best
elicited , I think, by a conscientious examination of the history of our individual literary education.
Consider the adolescent reading of any person with some literary sensibility. Everyone, I
believe, who is at all sensible to the seductions of poetry, can remember some moment in youth
when he or she was completely carried away by the work of one poet. Very likely he was carried
away by several poets, one after the other. The reason for this passing infatuation is not merely
that our sensibility to poetry is keener in adolescence than in maturity. What happens is a kind of
inundation, or invasion of the undeveloped personality, the empty (swept and garnished) room,
by the stronger personality of the poet. The same thing may happen at a later age to persons
who have not done much reading. One author takes complete possession of us for a time; then
another, and finally they begin to affect each other in our mind. We weigh one against another;
we see that each has qualities absent from others, and qualities incompatible with the qualities
of others: we begin to be, in fact, critical: and it is our growing critical power which protects us
from excessive possession by anyone literary personality. The good critic- and we should all try
to critics, and not leave criticism to the fellows who write reviews in the papers- is the man who,
to a keen and abiding sensibility, joins wide and increasingly discriminating. Wide reading is not
valuable as a kind of hoarding, and the accumulation of knowledge or what sometimes is meant
by the term a well-stocked mind. It is valuable because in the process of being affected by one
powerful personality after another, we cease to be dominated by anyone, or by any small
number. The very different views of life, cohabiting in our minds, affect each other, and our own
personality asserts itself and gives each a place in some arrangement peculiar to our self.

Objectives pursued by, organizations should be directed to the satisfaction of demands resulting
from the wants of mankind. Therefore, the determination of appropriate objectives for organized
activity must be preceded by an effort to determine precisely what their wants are. Industrial
organizations conduct market studies to learn what consumer goods should be produced. City
Commissions make surveys to ascertain what civic projects would be of most benefit. Highway
Commissions conduct traffic counts to learn what constructive programs should be undertaken.
Organizations come into being as a means for creating and exchanging utility. Their success is
dependent upon the appropriateness of the series of acts contributed to the system. The
majority of these acts is purposeful, that is, they are directed to the accomplishment of some
objectives. These acts are physical in nature and find purposeful employment in the alteration of
the physical environment. As a result utility is created, which, through the process of distribution,
makes it possible for the cooperative system to endure.
Before the Industrial Revolution most cooperative activity was accomplished in small owner
managed enterprises, usually with a single decision maker and simple organizational objectives.
Increased technology and the growth of industrial organization made necessary the
establishment of a hierarchy of objectives. This is turn, required a division of the management
function until today a hierarchy of decision makers exists in most organizations.
The effective pursuit of appropriate objectives contributes directly to organizational efficiency. As

used here, efficiency is a measure of the want satisfying power of the cooperative system as a
whole. Thus efficiency is the summation of utilities received from the organization divided by the
utilities given to the organization, as subjectively evaluated by each contributor.
The functions of the management process are the delineation of organizational objectives and
the coordination of activity towards the accomplishment of these objectives. The system of
coordinated activities must be maintained so that each contributor, including the manager, gains
more than he contributes.

From Plato to Tolstoy art has been accused of exciting our emotions and thus of disturbing the
order and harmony of our moral life. Poetical imagination, according to Plato, waters our
experience of lust and anger, of desire and pain, and makes them grow when they ought to
starve with drought. Tolstoy sees in art a source of infection. Not only in infection, he says, is
a sign of art, but the degree of infectiousness also the sole measure of excellence in art But the
flaw in this theory is obvious. Tolstoy suppresses a fundamental moment of art, the moment of
form. The aesthetic experience the experience of contemplation- is a different state of mind
from the coolness of our theoretical and the sobriety of our moral judgment. It is filled with the
liveliest energies of passion, but passion itself is here transformed both in its nature and in its
meaning. Wordsworth defines poetry as emotion recollected in tranquility. But the tranquility we
feel in great poetry is not that of recollection. The emotions aroused by the poet do not belong to
a remote past. They are here- alive and immediate. We are aware of their full strength, but this
strength tends in a new direction. It is rather seen than immediately felt. Our passions are no
longer dark and impenetrable powers; they become, as it were, transparent. Shakespeare never
gives us an aesthetic theory. He does not speculate about the nature of art. Yet in the only
passage in which he speaks of the character and functions of dramatic art the whole stress is
laid upon this point. The purpose of playing, as Hamlet explains, both at the first and now,
was and is, to hold, as, were, the mirror up to nature; to show virtue her own feature, scorn her
own image, and the very age and body of the time, his form and pressure. But the image of the
passion is not the passion itself. The poet who represents a passion doest not infected us with
this passion. At a Shakespeare play we are not infected with the ambition of Macbeth, with the
cruelty of Richard III or with the jealously of Othello. We are not at the mercy of these emotions;
we look through them; we seem to penetrate into their very nature and essence. In this respect
Shakespeares theory of dramatic art, if he had such a theory, is in complete agreement with the
conception of the fine arts of the great painters and sculptors.

Of all the characteristics of ordinary human nature envy is the most unfortunate; not only does
the envious person wish to inflict misfortune and do so whenever he can with impunity, but he is
also himself rendered unhappy by envy. Instead of deriving pleasure from what he has, he
derives pain from what others have. if he can, he deprives others of their advantages, which to
him is as desirable as it would be to secure the same advantages himself. if this passion is
allowed to run riot it becomes fatal to all excellence, and even the most useful exercise of
exceptional skill. Why should a medical man go to see his patients in a car when the labourer
has to walk to his work? Why should the scientific investigator be allowed to spend his time in a
warm room when others have to face the inclemency of the elements? Why should a man who
possesses some rare talent of great importance to the world be saved from his drudgery of his
own housework? To such questions envy finds no answer. Fortunately, however, there is in
human nature a compensating passion, namely that of admiration. Whosoever wishes to
increase human happiness must wish to increase admiration and to diminish envy. What cure is
there for envy? for the saint there is the cure of selflessness, though even in the case of saints
envy of other saints is by no means impossible. But, leaving saints out of account, the only cure
of envy in the case of ordinary men and women is happiness, and the difficulty is that envy is
itself a terrible obstacle to happiness. But the envious man may say: 'what is the good of telling
me that the cure of envy is happiness? I cannot find happiness while I continue to feel envy, and
you tell me that I cannot cease to be envious until I find happiness.' but real life is never so
logical as this. Merely to realize the cause of one's own envious feeling is to take a long step
towards curing them.
