Summary

This quote emphasizes that scientific inquiry is morally neutral, as it does not inherently possess a moral dimension. However, the pursuit of scientific knowledge and understanding aims to uncover objective truths about the natural world.

In this perspective, scientific truth can provide the basis upon which moral values and judgments can be established and informed.

If everything is perfect, language is useless. This is true for animals. If animals don't speak, it's because everything's perfect for them. If one day they start to speak, it will be because the world has lost a certain sort of perfection.
