“For myself, I am
interested in science and in philosophy only because I want to learn something
about the riddle of the world in which we live, and the riddle of man's
knowledge of that world. And I believe that only a revival of interest in these
riddles can save the sciences and philosophy from narrow specialization and
from an obscurantist faith in the expert's special skill, and in his personal
knowledge and authority; a faith that so well fits our 'post-rationalist' and
'post-critical' age, proudly dedicated to the destruction of the tradition of
rational philosophy, and of rational thought itself.”
