Science (n.) is, as a technique of mastering life, not a way to happiness. Only big children in university chairs believe in this.
Science (n.) is meaningless, to be sure, because it gives no answers, but the question that remains is the way in which it gives 'no' answer and whether or not it might yet be of some use to the one who puts the question correctly.
Science (n.) is, for the man at the threshold of modernity, the path to true art, and thus to true nature. Art was to be raised to the rank of science, and the artist was to be raised to the rank of doctor (socially and meaningfully).
Science (n.) is that idea which, in contrast to artistic works, chains scientific works to each other such that every scientific fulfillment is destined to be outdated and asks to be surpassed and made antiquated.
Science (n.) is today, seen as entirely irreligious such that religion becomes defined in terms of an escape from the rationalism and intellectualism of science.
