Summary
Psychological relativity is a simple, almost self-evident causal truth. It is also utterly unacceptable to man. Further, it offers full, though simple, causal explanations for all organic reactions, including psychological experiences. At the same time, modern psychology is clearly lacking a basic causal insight; it is, rather, sinking into mere complexities of enormous, contradictory learning.
