Extract

In a recent lecture on “Individual Psychology and the Bases of Science,” Dr. Crookshank declares that Adler “like Socrates … condemns … the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake, as a futile attempt to transcend the limits of human intelligence” (p. 54). Again (p. 48): “… the real problem is that of right living—the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake is a delusion and a snare, a delusion inasmuch as absolute knowledge is unattainable, and a snare inasmuch as it draws us away from the study of conduct”.
