Men’s epistemology—or, more precisely, their psycho-epistemology, their method
of awareness—is the most fundamental standard by which they can be classified.
Few men are consistent in that respect; most men keep switching from one level
of awareness to another, according to the circumstances or the issues involved,
ranging from moments of full rationality to an almost somnambulistic stupor.
But the battle of human history is fought and determined by those who are
predominantly consistent, those who, for good or evil, are committed to and
motivated by their chosen psycho-epistemology and its corollary view of
existence.
