The Theory of Knowledge (from Albert Einstein’s letter of 1916)
“How does a normally talented research scientist come to concern himself with the theory of knowledge? Is there not more valuable work to be done in his field? I hear this from many of my professional colleagues; or rather, I sense in the case of many more of them that this is what they feel”.
“I cannot share this opinion. When I think of the ablest students whom I have encountered in teaching – e.e.? those who distinguished themselves by their independence of judgment, and not only mere agility – I find that they a lively concern for the theory of knowledge. They liked to start discussions concerning the aims and methods of sciences, and showed unequivocally by the obstinacy with which they defended their views that this subject seemed important to them.”
“This is really not astonishing. For when I turn to science not for some superficial reason such as money-making or ambition, and also not (or at least not exclusively) for the pleasure of the sport, the delights of brain-athletics, then the following questions must burningly interest me as a disciple of this science: What goal will and can be reached by the science to which I am dedicating myself? To what extent are its general results “true”? What is essential, and what is based only on the accidents of development?....”
The road of scientific progress is frequently blocked for long periods by such errors. It is therefore not just an idle game to exercise our ability to analyze familiar concepts, and to demonstrate the conditions on which their justification and usefulness depend, and the way in which these developed, little by little…”.
