Hi Mark, Marsha,
Well I've tried to take up "the intellectual level" several times in the
hopes of getting a different designation for the 4th level. But I've
dropped that quest. My answer to what the 4th level represents is the
classic/romantic fusion - art and science.
A passage I'm reading of Royce's biography when he was under the influence
of Edward Rowland Sill expresses well how I think the 4th level should be
understood:
"This is the way Royce saw Sill's message: 'Science is, or ought to be
poetry, and poetry is knowldege, and the humanity of the future will not
divide life but will unite it". It was a mission to bridge Royce's joint
queens of the intellect, and as an apostle against specialization Sill
enlisted young Royce for the duration of his life."
Robert V. Hine, pg 80
I like that - "joint queens of the intellect" - thass wha' ahm talkin'
about. Pass me them joint queens.
John the apostle against specialization
