Accordingly, the great need is for those who are actuated by the scientific spirit to take counsel legarding the place and function of science in the total scene of life. It follows that a movement in behalf of the unity of science need not and should not lay down in advance a platform to be accepted. It is essentially a co-operative movement, so that detailed specific common standpoints and ideas must emerge out of the very processes of co-operation. To try to formulate them in advance and insist upon their acceptance by all is both to obstruct co-operation and to be false to the scientific spirit. The only thing necessary in the form of agreement is faith in the scientific attitude and faith in the human and social importance of its maintenance and expansion.

E perché ti stona il concetto di "fede e scienza"???

Io, invece, sono d'accordo con Max Plank!!! ;)
