In the realm of education, Neill (1960) argues that intellectual development isnot enough. Education must be both intellectual and emotional. In modernsociety, Neill perceived an increasing separation between intellect and feeling[this is similar to Rogers experiential, meaningful learning style - seeWhat is Learning? for more details].
Neill (1960) believed that the experiences of humans presently are primarilyexperiences of thought rather than an immediate, perpetual grasp of what theyreally feel in their hearts, see in their eyes, hear with their ears, or touchwith their hands and feet. The experiential component is lost in toady'seducational system. "In fact, this separation between intellect and feelinghas led modern man to a near schizoid state of mind in which he has becomealmost incapable of experiencing anything except in thought""(Neill,1960).
