knowing as many individual things as possible: ‘Learning consists in widening one’s information, absorbing extensively anything and everything one comes upon.’
The trap apparent is the categorisation of this knowledge and subsequent abstraction of the individual or phenomenal within, as or by these categories. The category of knowledge comes to replce the knowledge itself, leading to a seperation where there is interconnection, like the students who learn one thing in a language lesson and fail to transfer this to a science or arts lesson.
