Man is unique not because he does science, and his is unique

Summary

It suggests that humans possess the remarkable ability to not only explore the rational and empirical realms of science but also delve into the imaginative and creative domains of art. This harmonious coexistence of both scientific and artistic expressions demonstrates the exceptional cognitive capacity and versatility of the human mind.
