The Environment Is Everything That

My Position Concerning God Is That Of An Agnostic. I Am Convinced That A Vivid Consciousness Of The Primary Importance Of Moral Principles For The Betterment And Ennoblement Of Life Does Not Need The Idea Of A Law-giver, Especially A Law-giver Who Works On The Basis Of Reward And Punishment.

Knowledge Of What Is Does Not Open The Door Directly To What Should Be.

All Our Thinking Is Of This Nature, A Free Play With Concepts.

Without Deep Reflection One Knows From Daily Life That One Exists For Other People.

But The Personality That Finally Emerges Is Largely Formed By The Environment In Which A Man Happens To Find Himself During His Development, By The Structure Of The Society In Which He Grows Up, By The Tradition Of That Society, And By Its Appraisal Of Particular Types Of Behavior.
