Abstract

In chapter four, Harry has written a paper on "Thinking". His teacher, Mrs. Halsey provides many comments on the paper but one in particular hits home for Harry; "There's no fact in all the world that's more wonderful than our understanding of that fact." There is much packed into that statement. What is it for us to 'understand'? What exactly is our understanding of? What is the value of our understanding?
