Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Constructive Conscious Control of the Individual was Alexander’s second book: it was published in 1923 in the USA and in 1924 in England. It was reprinted several times in England and the USA. The present edition consists of Alexander’s authorised 1946 edition with additional material from earlier editions. It contains two prefaces by Alexander, an introduction by the educational philosopher John Dewey, and appendices with reviews of the early editions. Constructive Conscious Control of the Individual develops the argument set forth in Man’s Supreme Inheritance. Alexander shows that most of our movements, thoughts, and actions are dictated more by our feelings than by reasoning and that we can develop a reasoning consciousness. Instead of relying on subconscious guidance and control Alexander offers a practical remedy in the resumption of the conscious control of our whole activities. The famous chapter “Illustration” includes a comprehensive description how to apply his method of conscious control to a simple activity. Throughout he explains the importance of sensory appreciation and discusses it in relation to a number of themes, including education, the pursuit of happiness, and the fulfillment of our needs.
