technology. That is, the recovery of primitive organic values in
art and architecture is the central technological pressure of our
time. Yet there are some anthropologists even today who
vaguely suppose that nonliterate men have Euclidean space
perceptions. (17) And many more report their primitive data in
terms of Euclidean models of organization. So it is scarcely
surprising that a J. C. Carothers should be a rare figure. As a
psychologist who crossed functional lines into the
anthropological area, he was quite unprepared for what he
found. What he found is still known to very few people, indeed.
If the effects of the written word, in substituting visual for
auditory dimensions of experience, were known to Mircea Eliade,
for example, would he continue to express the same zeal for
the “resacralizing” of human life?
