We Never Know What We

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

Every Discovery Contains An Irrational Element Or A Creative Intuition.

Nature Consists Of Facts And Of Regularities, And Is In Itself Neither Moral Nor Immoral. It Is We Who Impose Our Standards Upon Nature, And Who In This Way Introduce Morals Into The Natural World, In Spite The Fact That We Are Part Of This World. We Are Products Of Nature, But Nature Has Made Us Together With Our Power Of Altering The World, Of Foreseeing And Of Planning For The Future, And Of Making Far-reaching Decisions For Which We Are Morally Responsible. Yet, Responsibility, Decisions, Enter The World Of Nature Only With Us

There Is An Almost Universal Tendency, Perhaps An Inborn Tendency, To Suspect The Good Faith Of A Man Who Holds Opinions That Differ From Our Own Opinions. It Obviously Endangers The Freedom And The Objectivity Of Our Discussion If We Attack A Person Instead Of Attacking An Opinion Or, More Precisely, A Theory.

Our Belief In Any Particular Natural Law Cannot Have A Safer Basis Than Our Unsuccessful Critical Attempts To Refute It.
