Every Judgment In Science Stands On The

In The Moment Of Appreciation We Live Again The Moment When The Creator Saw And Held The Hidden Likeness.

When Da Vinci Wanted An Effect, He Willed, He Planned The Means To Make It Happen: That Was The Purpose Of His Machines. But The Machines Of Newton ... Are Means Not For Doing But For Observing. He Saw An Effect, And He Looked For Its Cause.

But Nature - That Is, Biological Evolution - Has Not Fitted Man To Any Specific Environment. On The Contrary, ... He Has A Rather Crude Survival Kit; And Yet -this Is The Paradox Of The Human Condition - One That Fits Him To All Environments. Among The Multitude Of Animals Which Scamper, Fly, Burrow And Swim Around Us, Man Is The Only One Who Is Not Locked Into His Environment. His Imagination, His Reason, His Emotional Subtlety And Toughness, Make It Possible For Him Not To Accept The Environment But To Change It.

The Symbol And The Metaphor Are As Necessary To Science As To Poetry.

Man Is A Singular Creature. He Has A Set Of Gifts Which Make Him Unique Among The Animals, So That Unlike Them, He Is Not A Figure In The Landscape, He Is The Shaper Of The Landscape.
