The Belief That There Is Only One

During My Span Of Life Science Has Become A Matter Of Public Concern And The L'art Pour L'art Standpoint Of My Youth Is Now Obsolete. Science Has Become An Integral And Most Important Part Of Our Civilization, And Scientific Work Means Contributing To Its Development. Science In Our Technical Age Has Social, Economic, And Political Functions, And However Remote One's Own Work Is From Technical Application It Is A Link In The Chain Of Actions And Decisions Which Determine The Fate Of The Human Race.

We Have Sought For Firm Ground And Found None. The Deeper We Penetrate, The More Restless Becomes The Universe; All Is Rushing About And Vibrating In A Wild Dance.
