If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

Science is a rising force, It is creating a new world about us. It needs to be watched and pressed into service, and in any case, it would be courting disaster to ignore it.

I decided to teach because I think that any person who studies philosophy has to be involved actively.
