Re: Iris Acht

A very, very minor footnote in this discussion, and probably fanciful--
but, a couple of years ago I came across the name of a little-known but
significant German psychologist, Narziss Ach, whose name struck me as
oddly similar to Iris Acht's (flower + Ach). His works were not
translated into English, but now one of them is (see link, below); his
research seems to have had some mild relevance to VN's thought, but I
have not been able to determine whether in fact VN had heard of him; it
seems unlikey, and it is probably just coincidence. Intriguing, anyway
. . .
