We Have To Understand That The World

Every Animal Leaves Traces Of What It Was; Man Alone Leaves Traces Of What He Created.

The Progress Of Science Is The Discovery At Each Step Of A New Order Which Gives Unity To What Had Seemed Unlike.

The Discoveries Of Science, The Works Of Art Are Explorations - More, Are Explosions, Of A Hidden Likeness. The Discoverer Or Artist Presents In Them Two Aspects Of Nature And Fuses Them Into One. This Is The Act Of Creation, In Which An Original Thought Is Born, And It Is The Same Act In Original Science And Original Art.

Whether Our Work Is Art Or Science Or The Daily Work Of Society, It Is Only The Form In Which We Explore Our Experience Which Is Different.

All Those Formal Systems, In Mathematics And Physics And The Philosophy Of Science, Which Claim To Give Foundations For Certain Truth Are Surely Mistaken. I Am Tempted To Say That We Do Not Look For Truth, But For Knowledge. But I Dislike This Form Of Words, For Two Reasons. First Of All, We Do Look For Truth, However We Define It, It Is What We Find That Is Knowledge. And Second, What We Fail To Find Is Not Truth, But Certainty; The Nature Of Truth Is Exactly The Knowledge That We Do Find.
