Abstract

Interest in science and its achievement give a person strength in the struggle of life and help in dominating nature.

A person, whether he manages or not, cannot refrain from mental and mental activity in relation to the beginning and end of the world, the beginning and end of being, thought and action, unity and plurality, particularity and generality, cause and effect, important and possible etc. It was this desire and desire that gave birth to “philosophy” in man.
