Science Quotes by Norbert Wiener (2)
I have said that science is impossible without faith. … Inductive logic, the logic of Bacon, is rather something on which we can act than something which we can prove, and to act on it is a supreme assertion of faith … Science is a way of life which can only fluorish when men are free to have faith.
— Norbert Wiener
In Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao, Statistics and Truth (1997), 31.
Scientific discovery consists in the interpretation for our own convenience of a system of existence which has been made with no eye to our convenience at all.
— Norbert Wiener
The Human Use of Human Beings: Cybernetics and Society (1988), 124.
