mystery, mastery, inquiry: teaching on a triangle

Submitted by alesnick on Tue, 11/03/2009 - 8:04am.

I've been thinking about how formal education doesn't usually help people very much with embracing mystery. (I've written something about this at /node/5421. )  Most formal education might be based on a belief in the sufficiency of rational thought that Bharath calls into question.  It seems better to say that rational thought is necessary but not sufficient, and then to think about structuring education and intervention/helping in ways that use but don't attend exclusively to it?
