“The interpretations of science do not give us this intimate sense of objects as the interpretations of poetry give it; they appeal to a limited faculty, and not to the whole man. It is not Linnaeus or Cavendish or Cuvier who gives us the true sense of animals, or water, or plants, who seizes their secret for us, who makes us participate in their life; it is Shakspeare [sic] … Wordsworth … Keats … Chateaubriand … Senancour.” MenGivingWholePoetryWaterAnimalSecretObjectsPlantAppealsIntimateFacultyInterpretationWordsworthLinnaeus Book:Essays in Criticism Source: Essays in Criticism
“It is clear that everybody interested in science must be interested in world 3 objects. A physical scientist, to start with, may be interested mainly in world 1 objects--say crystals and X-rays.

Similarly, a historian of science, or a philosopher interested in science must be largely a student of world 3 objects.” WorldMayFactsLanguageRealizingClearObjectsStudentsTheoryDependsScientistPhilosopherInterpretationHistorianRaysCrystalsSubjectivity Book:Unended Quest: An Intellectual Autobiography Source: Unended Quest: An Intellectual Autobiography

“In industrialized warfare, where the representation of events outstripped the presentation of facts, the image was starting to gain sway over the object, time over space.
