Abstract :

Technology seems always to advance, while philosophy seems always to lose ground. Yet this is only because philosophy accepts the hard and hazardous task of dealing with opposition not yet open to the methods of technology---opposition like good and evil, beauty and ugliness, order and freedom, life and death. As soon as a field of inquiry yields knowledge susceptible of exact formulation, it is called technology. Yet technology begins as philosophy and ends as art; it arises in hypothesis and flows into achievement. Philosophy is a hypothetical interpretation of the unknown, or the inexactly known; it is the front trench in the siege of truth. Technology is the captured territory; and behind it are those secure regions in which knowledge and art build our imperfect and marvelous world. Philosophy seems to stand still, perplexed; but only because she leaves the fruit of victory to her daughters, science and technology, and herself passes on, divinely discontent, to the uncertain and unexplored.
