The New Intellectual . . . will discard . . . the soul-body dichotomy. He will
discard its irrational conflicts and contradictions, such as: mind versus
heart, thought versus action, reality versus desire, the practical versus
the moral. He will be an integrated man, that is: a thinker who is a man of
action. He will know that ideas divorced from consequent action are fraudulent,
and that action divorced from ideas is suicidal. He will know that the
conceptual level of psycho-epistemology—the volitional level of reason and
thought—is the basic necessity of man’s survival and his greatest moral
virtue. He will know that men need philosophy for the purpose of living on
earth.
