Synopsis
Excerpt from Aspects of Science
The papers which make up this volume have been selected because, although they deal with different aspects of various scientific ideas, yet they do illus trate, more or less, one point of View. That point of View may be described, perhaps as aesthetic, but rather better as humanistic. Scientific ideas have a history; they arose to satisfy certain human needs; to see them in their context is to see them as part of the general intellectual and emotional life of man. What they exist to do they do better than does any thing else, and the needs they satisfy are not peen liar to scientific specialists. These papers try to Show one or two of the many reasons why, for people who are not specialists as well as for those who are, science may be interesting.
