Foreword by Arthur G. Wirth, Chairman, The John Dewey Society Commission on Publications In The Mind as Nature we are presented with an analysis of a drama in which the whole of nature as well as each of us are actors in the basic plot. At issue is the process of creativity seeking to realize itself. The protagonists constitute, on the one hand, all that is involved in the creative potential to bring forth new forms and, on the other, all that inhibits the novel and fresh which might come into being. The drama is played out at many levels. The biosphere itself provides the nurture for life in its marvelous and varied forms, yet it also functions in ways to block or choke diverse modes which might have been. Human culture is an indispensable storehouse for sustaining and furthering growth of the human spirit, but it may function also an an agent for atrophy.
