There's No Question Dolphins Are

I Fully Agree With You About The Significance And Educational Value Of As Well As History And Philosophy Of Science. So Many People Today - And Even Professional - Seem To Me Like Someone Who Has Seen Thousands Of Trees But Has Never Seen A Forest. A Knowledge Of The Historic And Philosophical Background Gives That Kind Of Independence From Prejudices Of His Generation From Which Most Scientists Are Suffering. This Independence Created By Philosophical Insight Is - In My Opinion - The Mark Of Distinction Between A Mere Artisan Or Specialist And A Real Seeker After Truth.

I Have Never Looked Upon Ease And Happiness As Ends In Themselves. This Ethical Basis I Call The Ideal Of The Pigsty.

Chess Holds Its Master In Its Own Bonds, Shackling The Mind And Brain So That The Inner Freedom Of The Very Strongest Must Suffer.

The Only Justification For Our Concepts And Systems Of Concepts Is That They Serve To Represent The Complex Of Our Experiences; Beyond This They Have Not Legitimacy.

It Is A Magnificent Feeling To Recognize The Unity Of Complex Phenomena Which Appear To Be Things Quite Apart From The Direct Visible Truth.
