INFORMATION WITHIN The MILL

Abstract

The madman Huhu in Peer Gynt suffered melancholia because ‘droves of people die misunderstood’, and his plan was to lift the restraints of speech altogether by reintroducing the ‘grin, growl, gibber and gape of the orang‐outang’. Even in rational, philosophical circles it has been suggested that knowledge is incommunicable. The problem before this Conference may be described as being how to communicate the, possibly, incommunicable so that we shall not die misunderstood.
