Thus there arose in me both a need and a plan for the foundation of the human sciences.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We are the recipients of scientific method. We can each be a creative and active part of it if we so desire.
I think that we scientists are seeking an understanding of the natural world. We come in various types - chemists and physicists and biologists and such - and we all have the same goal. We are making progress.
I support basic research, which can lead to discoveries that change our world, expand our horizons and save lives.
I have an idealistic view of science as a liberalising and progressive force for humanity.
Let us advance science to create a better world for all.
The investigations which have seemingly been the most purely abstract have often formed the foundation of the most important changes or improvements in the conditions of human life.
I always wondered if there was a purpose to the universe, if there was a plan, if there was some sort of organizing factor, hopefully that I played a role in.
I believe that not everything we humans encounter in our lives can be neatly and convincingly tucked away inside the orderly cabinetry of science.
My primary interest has always been about exploring the human psyche and humanity.
We have to find our own purposes in life, which are not derived directly from our scientific history.
