Opening Lecture: Two Worlds.
Upon birth, every individual is confronted with two worlds. The first is "the world of struggle between person and thing." Every child initially lives in this world, learning quickly and living vibrantly. However, within a few years, family, society, and school compel the child to move towards the second world: "the world of struggle between person and person."
