interpreting the world in the manner of Plato, different from the enjoyment offered by today’s physicists, or by the Darwinians and anti- teleologists who work in physiology, with their principle of the “smallest possible force” and greatest possible stupidity. “Where man has nothing more to see and grasp, he has nothing more to do” – this imperative is certainly different from the Platonic one, but for a sturdy, industrious race of machinists and bridge-builders of the future, people with tough work to do, it just might be the right imperative for the job.
