Conclusion

Abstract

I started this study, in the rationalist/modernist way, by stepping back to look at world affairs in objectifying terms. I did not stop with that, however. I then stepped close, not just to look but as far as the limits of the printed page allow, to listen subjectively to what those who do these abstract things say they do. I then tried to find some sense, again within the limits that print allows, of what it feels like to do such things for ourselves.
