Abstract

I remember a phrase I heard once. It was something like: “in the sciences we build the world, whereas in the arts you just write about how we do it”. The truth is that it is a sign of great ignorance not only to lack knowledge of something but also to not even understand the influence (and therefore the power) that this knowledge can have. Maybe, if we alter it in the following way, the phrase above may be more truthful: “those in the arts state how the world is (or will be) and those in the sciences build it in accordance with these statements”1.
