As long as man was under the impression that in order to exploit
nature his FIRST ACTIVITY was to develop knowledge about nature from
nature; his SECOND ACTIVITY was to use that knowledge to draw up an
accurate, zero-error plan to exploit nature (think to find the means
of achieving the goal) and only AT THE END he can take action
according to the plan thought of, man could not make any progress.
This way man learns to think in one direction in time and utter
prophecies, but fails to develop any communicable knowledge. It is an
ideal approach to knowledge. Here man cannot use a language to think.
Therefore 'knowledge' cannot be divided into different disciplines.
Widespread revolutions of the 1700's and 1800's, of both political and
non-political origin and large number of scientific
(informative)discoveries during
the same period caompelled man to approach knowledge from both the
directions.
Experiment (action to 'collect' empirical knowledge) became the first
activity in the 'dedvelopment' of knowldge (or information?) in every
field of activity. The act of thinking, in order to 'develop' an
explanation became the last and the most deceptive and an unnecessary
activity in the field od 'development' of knowledge. No knowledge
'received' through communication can help one to think in one
direction in time and allow one to foresee, plan and solve problems.
It is wrong to think that men through out the world rmained stupid for
300000 years or a million years before industrial revolution and began
to become more and more intelligent after the industrial revolution.
When one has to think in one direction in time then the object to
which one has to apply 'knowledge' the same object becomes the source
of all knowledge that one has to 'apply'. In this case one has to use
one's capacity for psycho-physical parallelism or intellectual
sympathy. Therefore thinking in one direction in time enhances man's
capacity for sympathy. Nature is our source of
of wisdom - philosophy of life. A good culture demands that every man
must think before he acts, whether he is a scientist or a doctor.
Has science developed any objective knowledge that can help a man to
think in one direction in time?
