This book integrates science with values and meaning by making the simplest possible assumption about the connection between physical structure and conscious experience. The implications extend to the foundations of mathematics and physics suggesting that Einstein's intuition near the end of his life was correct that continuous structures do not exist. The book argues that spiritual instincts have evolved to connect us with the creative aspects of biological evolution which are crucial to long term survival. If the evolution of consciousness is allowed to expand without limit, then whatever ecstatic wondrous experience any being ever experiences is the merest hint of a shadow of what can be and that will always be the case. This follows from Gdel's Incompleteness Theorem and the assumptions of this book.

Special pedagogy belongs to pedagogical disciplines. It is defined as a science branch that studies regularities of training and education of individuals who are disadvantaged comparing to the major population at mental, sensory, somatic area; communication skills; psycho-social area; learning disorders and accelerated talent. Nowadays especially terminological disunity is in the middle of attention at training-educational area; but also at legislative area, pedagogues, parents, educational advisors and also special pedagogues themselves. Special practice forces specialists and also special pedagogues to gain as much knowledge about terminology as possible not only here but also abroad with purpose of its unity. Objective attitude to a personality with disability or disorder can be only created as a result of complex attitude. Within this attitude the terminology makes a serious part. To understand the difficult issue regarding the terminology at special pedagogy a scientific monograph which had been created by many specialists not only from Slovakia but also from abroad can definitely help. We assume that not only students of special pedagogy but also teachers from practice, wide pedagogical and non-pedagogical public and all of those who concern about this issue (including special employees of various resorts) will find answers on many difficult questions about terminology at special monograph. We also believe that it will enrich the theory of special pedagogy as well in an important way. Excerpt from the Introduction
