Man's mind is his basic tool of survival. life is given to him, survival is not. his body is given to him, its sustenance is not. his mind is given to him, its content is not. to remain alive, he must act, and before he can act he must know the nature and purpose of his action. he cannot obtain his food without a knowledge of food and of the way to obtain it. he cannot dig a ditch-or build a cyclotron-without a knowledge of his aim and of the means to achieve it. to remain alive, he must think
