Part I Chapter Titles

Submitted by Tom Last on Sun, 03/07/2010 - 11:31am.

Here are some short title suggestions. A new title for Chapter 7 is an interesting challenge because the chapter examines what we consider to be real or not real.

New Title Suggestions

1. Conscious Human Action
2. The Desire For Scientific Knowledge
3. Thought As The Basis For Understanding The World
4. The World As Perception
5. Cognizing The World
6. Human Individuality
7. Are there Limits To Cognition?

1. Conscious Human Action
2. The Desire To Know
3. Thinking Serving Knowing
4. Perceiving The World
5. Knowing The World
6. Human Individuality
7. Knowing Reality

Intuitive Thinking As A Spiritual Path Titles
1. Conscious Human Action
2. The Fundamental Urge For Knowledge
3. Thinking In The Service Of Understanding The World
4. The World As Percept
5. Knowing The World
6. Human Individuality
7. Are There Limits To Knowledge?

Emphasize theory rather than knowledge in title

Most people who study Steiner think they are done when they grasp speculative theory.

Theory

 

There are some useful aspects in this, Tom.

Quite a few folk in my area of work seem to assume that all theory is speculative. For them thinking and theorising are synonymous as far as I can tell.

 

chp 2 BASIC URGE

We are dealing here with BASIC URGE. We need an explanation, even if it is a far out conspiracy theory. All the one-sided ism's appear here.

Basic Urge 2

The basic urge is that we want to know.

Unfortunately, speculative theorising only gives us one story among every story. Nothing is certain for such a theorist.

 

certainty factor

I think certainty is a measurable factor of knowledge. Chapter 3 has a very low level of certainty concerning knowledge of the world. I think certainty increases as we move through the chapters.
