The left hand has traditionally represented the powers of
intuition, feeling, and spontaneity. In this classic book, Jerome
Bruner inquires into the part these qualities play in determining
how we know what we do know; how we can help others to know-that
is, to teach; and how our conception of reality affects our actions
and is modified by them.
The striking and subtle discussions contained in On Knowing take
on the core issues concerning man's sense of self: creativity, the
search for identity, the nature of aesthetic knowledge, myth, the
learning process, and modem-day attitudes toward social controls,
Freud, and fate. In this revised, expanded edition, Bruner comments
on his personal efforts to maintain an intuitively and rationally
balanced understanding of human nature, taking into account the odd
historical circumstances which have hindered academic psychology's
attempts in the past to know man.
Writing with wit, imagination, and deep sympathy for the human
condition, Jerome Bruner speaks here to the part of man's mind that
can never be completely satisfied by the right-handed virtues of
order, rationality, and discipline.
