Human Accents in Science
Gruen, William | August 14, 1935 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the book "Science and the Human Temperament," by Erwin Schrödinger. A considerable part of the book is devoted to mitigating the contrast between art and science. The writer elaborates the well-known fact that the development of science has been determined to a large extent by extra-scientific factors. The significance lies not in the view of science as a kind of play whose form varies with the fashions of the times, but in the fact that science as well as art is an attempt to organize experience.
