I
think,
as
think
at

of
the
apralling
contrast
between
the

that
creed
which
once
was

the

From
the
times
of
the
ancient
Greeks,
man
has
been
groping
blindly
after
an
intervretation
of
the
universe,
an
interpretation
of
what
life
is
for,
what
is
worth
while
in
life,
and
what
is
the
meaning
of
it
all,
what
is
to
be
the
outcome
of
it
all.
But
the
logomachies
of
science
have
ended
in
a
pitiable,
a
conspicuous
failure.

The

study
of

)

before
he

to

What
is
the
"scientific
method"?
It
is
the
piecemeal
method.
It
deals
with
only
a
part
of
reality
at
a
time;
and
by
the
rules
of
the
game,
as
seen
in
the
devotion
to
TMgpecialization"
it
can
never
attain
to
a
real
knowledge
of
the
universe
as
a
whole.
