But While I Accept Specialization

Real Science Exists, Then, Only From The Moment When A Phenomenon Is Accurately Defined As To Its Nature And Rigorously Determined In Relation To Its Material Conditions, That Is, When Its Law Is Known. Before That, We Have Only Groping And Empiricism.

Proof That A Given Condition Always Precedes Or Accompanies A Phenomenon Does Not Warrant Concluding With Certainty That A Given Condition Is The Immediate Cause Of That Phenomenon. It Must Still Be Established That When This Condition Is Removed, The Phenomen Will No Longer Appear.

Mediocre Men Often Have The Most Acquired Knowledge. It Is In The Darker. It Is In The Darker Regions Of Science That Great Men Are Recognized; They Are Marked By Ideas Which Light Up Phenomena Hitherto Obscure And Carry Science Forward.

We Must Never Make Experiments To Confirm Our Ideas, But Simply To Control Them.

When We Meet A Fact Which Contradicts A Prevailing Theory, We Must Accept The Fact And Abandon The Theory, Even When The Theory Is Supported By Great Names And Generally Accepted.
