Science must be understood as a social phenomenon, a gutsy, human enterprise, not the work of robots programmed to collect pure information.
Stephen Jay Gould Quotes
Goethe died in 1832. As you know, Goethe was very active in science. In fact, he did some very good scientific work in plant morphology and mineralogy. But he was quite bitter at the way in which many scientists refused to grant him a hearing because he was a poet and therefore, they felt, he couldn't be serious.
