Q&@
PROCESS OF INNER CHANGE,
LEADING FROM IGNORANCE TO ENLIGHTENMENT BY MEANS OF EXPERIENCES?
The highest aim of humanist life
is to fully develop your knowledge through a wide variety of intellectual,
emotional & physical experiences! In the early 19th century Wilhelm Von HUMBOLDT - one of the chief
architects of the modern education system - said that the aim of existence is 'A DISTILLATION OF THE
WIDEST POSSIBLE EXPERIENCE OF LIFE INTO WISDOM'!
He also wrote that 'THERE IS ONLY ONE SUMMIT IN LIFE -
TO HAVE TAKEN THE MEASURE IN FEELING OF EVERYTHING HUMAN'!
This could well be
thé HUMANIST MOTTO!
According to Chinese philosophy, the world is sustained by the interplay of op-
posing but complementary forces called YIN & YANG. This may not be true of the physical world, but it
is certainly true of the modern world that has been created
by the covenant of science & humanism....
Every scientific YANG contains within it
a humanist YIN, and vice versa. The YANG provides us with the
power, while the YIN provides us with méaning & ethical judgements! The Yang & Yin of modernity are
reason & emotion, the laboratory & the museum, the production line & the supermarket? People often
see only the Yang & imagine that the modern world is dry, scientific, logical & utilitarian - just like a lab
oratory or a factory?
But the modern world is also an extravagant supermarket!
No culture in history has
ever given such importance to human FEELINGS, DESIRES & EXPERIENCES?! The humanist view of life
as a succession of experiences has become the founding myth of numerous modern industries, from our
tourism to our arts? Travel agents & restaurant chefs do not sell us flight tickets, hotels or fancy dinners -
they sell us novel experiences! En is dàt ook nú & hier juist niet wat òns myDi ìs: mede-déling -
awareness/ontdekking?!
