Abstract
THE advance of science is along two roads: the first is in the direction of greater intensity, particularism and of empiricism, and the second, from intensity, particularism and empiricism, towards extensity, generalisation and synthesis. Explorers along the road of scientific progress carve the challenging hypotheses of former pioneers on milestones which show the truisms from which they then, proceed.
