The outstanding problem of the Public is discovery and identification of itself

The experience has to be formulated in order to be communicated.

Of these three words, direction, control, and guidance, the last best conveys the idea of assisting through cooperation the natural capacities of the individuals guided; control conveys rather the notion of an energy brought to bear from without and meeting some resistance from the one controlled; direction is a more neutral term and suggests the fact that the active tendencies of those directed are led in a certain continuous course, instead of dispersing aimlessly.

In fact, the human young are so immature that if they were left to themselves without the guidance and succor of others, they could not acquire the rudimentary abilities necessary for physical existence.

Not only is social life identical with communication, but all communication (and hence all genuine social life) is educative.

The words "environment," "medium" denote something more than surroundings which encompass an individual. They denote the specific continuity of the surroundings with his own active tendencies.

I should venture to assert that the most pervasive fallacy of philosophic thinking goes back to neglect of context.
