Science on the stage

The separation between science and art is not only objectively erroneous, but also dangerous, if taken seriously... it prevents the real world from being an object of fantasy; this way we favour a lack of culture that we are bound to face when we prefer a specific competence to the exploitation of all the possible means to reach knowledge of nature and of the world... let us then forget all deceiving distinctions and let us exploit all man’s capabilities, his wit, his feelings and his fantasy. Let us accompany a well-mastered objectivity with a colourful speech, in order to create not only an objectively better knowledge than the one we possessed before, but also a more pleasant one. Paul Feyerabend, scientist and philosopher (1924–1994)
