Science manipulates things and gives up living in them. It makes its own limited models of things; operating upon these indices or variables to effect whatever transformations are permitted by their definition, it comes face to face with the real world only at rare intervals. Science is and always will be that admirably active, ingenious, and bold way of thinking whose fundamental bias is to treat everything as though it were an object-in-general - as though it meant nothing to us and yet was predestined for our own use. ✨ Maurice Merleau-Ponty, James M. Edie (1964). The Primacy of Perception: And Other Essays on Phenomenological Psychology, the Philosophy of Art, History and Politics, p.159, Northwestern University Press
