Very interesting.
I agree with his final words:
"This is the specific principle which the reader is invited to consider: that for the health of a single individual, a people, and a culture the unhistorical and the historical are equally essential."
I think the "historical" is/are ones' genetic makeup, and the "unhistorical" is/are ones' current brain chemistry/neuorological functioning.
Thanks
