Wo jene Tradition zu schwinden beginnt, da bleibt für den Altertumsforscher nichts anderes übrig als Pike und Axt in die Hand zu nehmen und sich beherzt, wie einst die Mönche des frühen Mittelalters, in den Dienst dieser erzieherischen Mission zu stellen.

(en) Our ignorance of brain function is currently so very nearly total that we could not even begin to frame appropriate research strategies. We would stand before the open brain, fancy instruments in hand, roughly as an unschooled labourer might stand before the exposed wiring of a computer: awed perhaps, but surely helpless. A microanalysis of brain functions is, moreover, no more useful for understanding anything about thinking than a corresponding analysis of the pulses flowing through a computer would be for understanding what program the computer is running. Such analyses would simply be at the wrong conceptual level. They might help to decide crucial experiments, but only after such experiments had been designed on the basis of much higher-level (for example, linguistic) theories.
