The dangers of meaninglessness for statements of great generality

Philipp FrankRobert S Cohen

pp. 17-42

Abstract

All sciences have the aim to predict, and possibly master, later experiences from immediate ones. Even where we study the "past" we are in fact engaged in seeking a broader basis than immediate experiences; with this, an easier and more complete grasp of the future would be possible. To reach this goal, all sciences use fundamentally the same method.
