Confusion
Again, I regret to say that your correspondent Mr N. T. Chow's letter is full of con- fusion and contradictions, only more so this time. This habit of his is obviously due to his point of view which is sub- jective, personal and specula. tive. It accounts for the rea- B011 why be loves to twist things around for the sake of his arguments. Now, fn despirale, he puts on a philo- sophical mask just to show how mysterious and magical he is, as a sort of compensa- tion. But all these atreuo efforts of his no matter how well decorated by his special logic and theforle do not Aunored to hide his fallacies
and Inconsistencies.
He talks like a man living in the 18th and 19th centuries when he tries to put over bis vague concepts Such A.A "abstract purity," "abstræet notiona BK basic human attitudes," etc., and he is certainly at least half century behind time when he dares to assert that "seientifically ideals cannot de Appraised by the scleotide method. because their baxle is philosophical, not scientifle." No, Mr Chow, the ideals as you) define them are not a mysteri- ous entity. but a forra of human behaviour, Inarned and acquired by human experi- ence. I has a natural history Just like any other type of human behaviour. In the felds of modern experimental psychology, sociology, human ecology.

You could understand what I mean if you would only try to take off your out-of-date philoso- phical mask and fear to bo humble, objective and factual.
