"In Orthodox theology we say that there are some men who have noetic [heart, conscience] energy developed to a high degree without having comparable brain power at their disposal; others have rational energy developed to a high degree, but their nous is darkened; others have a high degree of noetic energy and a high degree of rational energy, while there are others who have neither rational power nor an illuminated nous."
- from The Person in the Orthodox Tradition (page 306)
In light of the above taxonomy where do we commit the most time, energy, and resources - rational faculties or the heart? What are the implications for schooling?
