It is more difficult with Faulkner than with most authors to say what is the extent and what is the source of his knowledge.

The ingredients of Faulkner's novels and stories are by no means new with him, and most of the problems he takes up have had the attention of authors before him.

This circumstance in the patient's case plus the fact that his tactual capacity remained basically in sound working order constitutes its exceptional value for the problem at hand since the evidence presented by the authors is overwhelming that, when the patient closed his eyes, he had absolutely no spatial ( that is, third-dimensional ) awareness whatsoever.

The necessary inference, as the authors themselves interpret it, would seem to be this: `` ( ( 1 ) Spatial qualities are not among those grasped by the sense of touch, as such.

The answer the authors give to it, therefore, is of supreme importance.
