As You Know, Bergson Pointed

Mixture Of Assimilation To Earlier Schemas And Adaptation To The Actual Conditions Of The Situation Is What Defines Motor Intelligence. But And This Is Where Rules Come Into Existence As Soon As A Balance Is Established Between Adaptation And Assimilation, The Course Of Conduct Adopted Becomes Crystallized And Ritualized. New Schemas Are Even Established Which The Child Looks For And Retains With Care, As Though They Were Obligatory Or Charged With Efficacy.

For The Fundamental Fact Of Human Psychology Is That Society, Instead Of Remaining Almost Entirely Inside The Individual Organism As In The Case Of Animals Prompted By Their Instincts, Becomes Crystallized Almost Entirely Outside The Individuals. In Other Words, Social Rules, As Durkheim Has So Powerfully Shown, Whether They Be Linguistic, Moral, Religious, Or Legal, Etc., Cannot Be Constituted, Transmitted Or Preserved By Means Of An Internal Biological Heredity, But Only Through The External Pressure Exercised By Individuals Upon Each Other.

Knowing Reality Means Constructing Systems Of Transformations That Correspond, More Or Less Adequately, To Reality.

The Principal Goal Of Education Is To Create Men Who Are Capable Of Doing New Things, Not Simply Of Repeating What Other Generations Have Done-men Who Are Creative, Inventive, And Discovers. The Second Goal Of Education Is To Form Minds Which Can Be Critical, Can Verify, And Not Accept Everything They Are Offered.
