The non-technical, basic yet familiar features of time are
investigated, e.g. two novel, detailed arguments defending the
common view that 'time rolls relentlessly' are advanced; a number
of hitherto neglected fundamental differences between
spatio-temporal location and every other physical property are
discussed; the unresolved problem, why the past is so much better
known than the future is tackled. For those who wish to delve
deeper, 25% of the book consists of problems to ponder and their
possible solutions.
Originally published in 1963. Can one discern certain
regularities in the manoeuvrings and techniques employed by
scientists and can these be formulated into the methodological
principles of science? What is the origin and basis of such
principles? Are they imposed by objective realities, do they derive
from conceptual necessities or are they rooted in our own deep
seated predilections? This volume investigates these questions and
sheds light on the growth mechanism of the evolving structure of
science itself.
I With the immense success of modem science it has generally become
accepted that the only way to acquire knowledge is by the use of
the method uniformly practiced by working scientists. Consequently,
the credibility of the claims of religion, which seem to be based
on belief in revelation, tradition, authority and the like, have
been considerably shaken. In the face of the serious threat
provided by the ascendancy of modem scientific method ology,
religious thinkers have adopted various defensive attitudes. Some
have retreated into an extreme position where Theism is completely
safe from any attack on it by the use of empirical methods of
inquiry, maintaining that contrary to appearances, religion makes
no factual claims whatsoever. To be religious, they say, is to
subscribe to a certain value system; it is to adopt a set of
practices and a given attitude to the meaning and purpose of life
without making any assertions about this or that empirical feature
of the universe. Others wishing to remain more faithful to what
religion traditionally meant throughout the ages, agree that Theism
does make factual claims but that these are so radically different
from the kind of claims made by science that it is only right that
they should be established by a separate method on its own. In
matters of faith reliance on widely entrenched tradition and sacred
authority is not objectionable according to some."

Von 1900 bis heute, also in der kurzen Zeit von 30 Jahren, hat sich

arbeit von Anlage, Ausrustung und vor allem Organisation der
Fabrikunternehmungen in einem unerhorten, bis zum Jahre 1930 stets
gesteigerten Tempo vollzogen. Es war mir vergonnt, dabei Mitarbeit
zu leisten, sowohl bei Werkzeug und Werkzeugmaschine als auch bei
der Fortbildung der Fabrikorganisation. Jetzt ist eine Pause
eingetreten. Man holt nicht nur Atem, sondern man muss sich mit
einer offenbar ganz neuartigen Weltordnung abfinden. Daher wage ich
es, in diesem kleinen Buche einen Querschnitt zu geben uber den
heutigen Stand der ganzen Entwicklung in ihren wesentlichen
Abschnitten, die die Wechselwirkung zwischen Werk. zeug und
Baustoff, die Richtlinien fur die Vervollkommnung der
Werkzeugmaschinen, die Zusammenhange zwischen den dreigfOssen
Problemen: Material, Lohn und Gemeinkosten behandeln. Die beiden

abschnitte uber die Fabrikorganisation wird dadurch in keiner Weise
gestort. Das Gebiet ist so gross, dass es im einzelnen der
Einschrankung bedurfte; daher habe ich insbesondere die
Bearbeitungsfragen und -maschinen auf die spanabhebende Formung
beschrankt, die span lose Formgebung aber vorlaufig fortgelassen,
obwohl mir ihre Bedeu tung fur das grosse Gebiet der
Fernmeldetechnik, des Radio, des Schreib-und Rechenmaschinenbaus,
der Verpackungsmittel (Konserven. dosen), usw. wohl bekannt ist."
