Scope and content
Recently read a translation of an article by FH in a Finnish magazine. Thanks him for his thoughts, which confirm her own 'heretic thinking'. Works in the field of mental development, and one of the central themes she is developing is that 'evolution is going on in the mental sphere of man and that the degree of organization in the mental structure determines our degree of development'. Darwin's theory was 'a terrible mistake as an explanation'. There is a 'wonderful unity and hidden order in the universe'. Understands FH difficulties 'with marxists scolars [sic]' in his own country, as she has the same problems.
