For Myself, I Am Interested In Science And In Philosophy Only Because I Want To Learn Something About The Riddle Of The World In Which We Live, And The Riddle Of Man's Knowledge Of That World. And I Believe That Only A Revival Of Interest In These Riddles Can Save The Sciences And Philosophy From An Obscurantist Faith In The Expert's Special Skill And In His Personal Knowledge And Authority.

When We Enter A New Situation In Life And Are Confronted By A New Person, We Bring With Us The Prejudices Of The Past And Our Previous Experiences Of People.

The Metaphysical Doctrine Of Determinism Simply Asserts That All Events In This World Are Fixed, Or Unalterable, Or Predetermined. It Does Not Assert That They Are Known To Anybody, Or Predictable By Scientific Means. But It Asserts That The Future Is As Little Changeable As Is The Past. Everybody Knows What We Mean When We Say That The Past Cannot Be Changed. It Is In Precisely The Same Sense That The Future Cannot Be Changed, According To Metaphysical Determinism.
