alphabet or print or telegraph in shaping our behavior? For it is 
absurd and ignoble to be shaped by such means. Knowledge 
does not extend but restrict the areas of determinism. And the 
influence of unexamined assumptions derived from technology 
leads quite unnecessarily to maximal determinism in human life. 
Emancipation from that trap is the goal of all education. But 
the unconscious is no escape-hatch from a world of denuded 
categories any more than Leibnizian or any other monism is a 
resolution of Cartesian dualism. There is still the full ratio or 
interplay of all the senses in concert, which permits light 
through . That concert comes to an end with the stepping up of 
one  sense by technology, and by the insistence of light on . The 
nightmare of light on  is the world of Pascal: “Reason acts 
slowly and with so many views upon so many principles which 
always must be present, that at any time it may fall asleep or 
get lost, for want of having all its principles present.” (103)
