Abstract
" ... the scholar who says he detests any kind of science is not only ridiculous: his attitude is
decidedly harmful. Harmful because it encourages those who are responsible for decisions that may
determine the fate of mankind to be intentionally ignorant about the material background against
which their decisions should be taken. Harmful also because authors and scholars, while gladly
using modern commodities, fail to see the philosophical implications of science and tend to deny
scientists and engineers their legitimate place in culture. But we, scientists and engineers, we know that we have not only created material things and above all we know that we contribute to better relations between nations and peoples. For us it is easy to have understanding of and objective appreciation for the work of others, and from there it is not difficult to arrive also at human understanding and appreciation" [H.B.G. Casimir, 1965; italics added]
