XII The History of Science a Search 



FOR God by John Langdon-Davies 203 



Scientists thought of as men apart — Yet they have 

 the same urge as poets and composers — Kepler's

 movement in nature — Science as well as art is a 

 child of the imagination — The schools responsible 

 for making science a cold, utilitarian thing — In
