Paul Kalanithi Quotes
Yet The Paradox Is That Scientific Methodology Is The Product Of Human Hands And Thus Cannot Reach Some Permanent Truth. We Build Scientific Theories To Organize And Manipulate The World, To Reduce Phenomena Into Manageable Units. Science Is Based On Reproducibility And Manufactured Objectivity. As Strong As That Makes Its Ability To Generate Claims About Matter And Energy, It Also Makes Scientific Knowledge Inapplicable To The Existential, Visceral Nature Of Human Life, Which Is Unique And Subjective And Unpredictable. Science May Provide The Most Useful Way To Organize Empirical, Reproducible Data, But Its Power To Do So Is Predicated On Its Inability To Grasp The Most Central Aspects Of Human Life: Hope, Fear, Love, Hate, Beauty, Envy, Honor, Weakness, Striving, Suffering, Virtue.
