FEELING ILL-AT-EASE
- The hyphenated spelling is useful to indicate the fact of not being at ease, i.e. a disfunctioning in the the relationship between two subjects who have different functions within that relationship for the purposes of their own enrichment. The term I-A-E. has been widely misused, ending up by becoming a byword for any kind of discomfort. PR.AS.DO. has studied the concept thoroughly and has come to the conclusion that being ill-at-ease arises when one party takes over the function of the other, thus depriving him or her of the capacity to think*. (see Agio e disagio nella scuola, by A. Foletto).
