REASON 



SUMMARY 



The origin of discoveries is beyond the reach of reason. The 

 role of reason in research is not hitting on discoveries — either 

 factual or theoretical — but verifying, interpreting and developing 

 them and building a general theoretical scheme. Most biological 

 " facts " and theories are only true under certain conditions and 

 our knowledge is so incomplete that at best we can only reason on 

 probabilities and possibiUties.
