These novels painted a world where palm trees and pine trees lived together, where lions and tigers roamed the forest, with Roman Ruins surrounded by virgin forests and lakes full of swans. "And the shaded oil-lamp . . . lit up all these pictures of the world, which flowed by on after another, in the silence of the dormitory, to the distant sound of a late cab somewhere still rolling along the boulevards." (page 30) In short, Emma fell in love with a world that never existed anywhere.

- ... this "problem posing" education. Freire goes on to say "Those truly committed to the banking concept in its entirety, adopting instead a concept of women and men as conscious beings, and consciousness intent upon the world. They must abandon the educational goal of deposit-making and replace it with the posing of the problems of human beings in their relations with the world. "Problem-posing" education, responding to the essence of consciousness-intentionality-rejects communiques and embodies communication."(74). Freire suggests that the students(oppressed) must break free from this system of things and liberate themselves and free ... that "Indeed, problem-posing education, which breaks with the vertical patterns characteristic of education, can fulfill its function as the practice of freedom to overcome the above contradiction."(74).

- 6916: Romantism
- ... one man. To surpass society you must first be able to look past and beyond it to explore goodness, and absolve to yourself. If you can accomplish that you will have the suffrage of the world. To lead yourself you have to follow your instincts of what you feel right and not what society tells you is right. By doing this society will have a harder time to mold you into ... better. As Emerson said you become a transparent eyeball and see all what is happening and grasp it with an understanding beyond your belief.

He has no true self he is hiding in another mans life. He sees the world through that persons eye and can only watch. If he wants to have control over a life he needs to take control of his life and stop hiding from his fears. Valuing yourself over ...
- 6917: Berkeley
- Berkeley As man progressed through the various stages of evolution, it is assumed that at a certain point he began to ponder the world around him. Of course, these first attempts fell short of being scholarly, probably consisting of a few grunts and snorts at best. As time passed on, though, these ideas persisted and were eventually tackled by the more intellectual, so-called philosophers. Thus, excavation of "the external world" began. As the authoritarinism of the ancients gave way to the more liberal views of the modernists, two main positions concerning epistemology and the nature of the world arose.

In opposition, the rationalists maintained that knowledge comes purely from deduction, and that this knowledge is ...
