Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Research in State Universities The end in view is the attainment of all possible knowledge, and the application of that knowledge to the increase of man´s happiness, the lessening of his burdens, and the decrease of his sufferings. The goal on reaching which man can say: The bounds of the knowable have been attained, and all possible wisdom is mine! is not in sight. So vast and intricate are the laws and processes of nature and of mind, that the Ultima Thule of human endeavor will never be reached. But to approach and make nearer and nearer approximations to the magnificent ideal, like the alpine climber who seeks to scale some cloud-encompassed peak, we need no other guide than the assurance that all ascending paths lead toward it. The uplifting of man by providing him with additional powers through research, may, as just suggested, be illustrated by the tasks that mountaineers set for themselves. It is true that on a mountain´s side all ascending paths lead toward its summit, but some are impassable, others beset with extreme difficulties, and only one perhaps is practicable. The discovery of that way is the mountaineer´s hope. Many fruitless efforts must be made, but at last some one climber, more skilled, steadier of nerve, or stronger and more enduring than his companions, discovers the right way and others follow, guided and encouraged by his example and counsel The foremost mountaineer is an explorer. Following in his foot-steps but improving the path he has made and discovering side excursions from it, others gain glorious alpine gardens, and traverse shimmering snow-fields never before pressed by human foot. In a similar manner among those who strive to make advances into the realm of the unknown in other directions, some one investigator gifted beyond his fellows, inspired by a new idea, or discovering a new meaning in some well known fact, like the successfnl mountaineer, leads the way. When such an advance is made, others are encouraged to follow and a new and wider view of nature is obtained.
