Organicidade em contraposição à racionalidade.
Embate entre racionalidade e experiência.
Objetivismo deve ser a capacidade de perceber o objeto em si.

Um livro muito bom e extremamente atual (apesar de escrito/pronunciado nos anos 70). O autor se põe contra a "coletivizacão" do intelecto e as tentativas de desqualificação da mente. Porém, também é contrário ao racionalismo. Ademais, o autor mostra descontentamento com o tecnicismo presente no ensino das artes, da filosofia e de outras matérias de cunho Humano.
