Science Must Begin With Myths, And With

The More We Learn About The World, And The Deeper Our Learning, The More Conscious, Specific, And Articulate Will Be Our Knowledge Of What We Do Not Know, Our Knowledge Of Our Ignorance

The War Of Ideas Is A Greek Invention. It Is One Of The Most Important Inventions Ever Made. Indeed, The Possibility Of Fighting With With Words And Ideas Instead Of Fighting With Swords Is The Very Basis Of Our Civilization, And Especially Of All Its Legal And Parliamentary Institutions.

The History Of Science, Like The History Of All Human Ideas, Is A History Of Irresponsible Dreams, Of Obstinacy, And Of Error. But Science Is One Of The Very Few Human Activities-perhaps The Only One-in Which Errors Are Systematically Criticized And Fairly Often, In Time, Corrected. This Is Why We Can Say That, In Science, We Often Learn From Our Mistakes, And Why We Can Speak Clearly And Sensibly About Making Progress There. In Most Other Fields Of Human Endeavour There Is Change, But Rarely Progress ... And In Most Fields We Do Not Even Know How To Evaluate Change.

It Is Part Of My Thesis That All Our Knowledge Grows Only Through The Correcting Of Our Mistakes.

Good Tests Kill Flawed Theories; We Remain Alive To Guess Again.
