George Sarton Quotes

Hellenic Science Is A Victory Of Rationalism, Which Appears Greater, Not Smaller, When One Is Made To Realize That It Had Been Won In Spite Of The Irrational Beliefs Of The Greek People; All In All, It Was A Triumph Of Reason In The Face Of Unreason. Some Knowledge Of Greek Superstitions Is Needed Not Only For A Proper Appreciation Of That Triumph But Also For The Justification Of Occasional Failures, Such As The Many Platonic Aberrations.
