Imagine a scientist on some remote planet who has received from the earth specimens of artificial flowers, without knowing anything about real flowers. It will be extremely difficult for him to define them - to explain their shape, their colour, the material from which they are made, that is, wire, cotton-wool and coloured paper - and to classify them in any way. Psychology stands in a very similar position in relation to man. It has to study an artificial man, without knowing the real man. Obviously, it cannot be easy to study a being such as man, who does not himself know what is real and what is imaginary in him. P.D. Ouspensky
