Although it is true and truistic to say that the worldview is the "mental environment of science," such a statement does not carry us very far to an understanding of the nature of scientific activity as such, for not only science but also other distinctive aspects of human activity such as art, music, ethicomoral conduct, literature and the various forms of socio-cultural interactions and institutions are also functions of the same worldview. Unfortunately, this proposition is true only in the truistic sense. What I resolutely oppose is an unreflected resentment that offers no prospect for creativity or initiative, and contents itself with truistic descriptions of a necessarily inconsistent world. |
