The Conclusion of Poincaré Chautauqua.
“ To leave the impression in the scientific world that the source of all scientific reality is merely a subjective, capricious harmony is to solve problems of epistemology while leaving an unfinished edge at the border of metaphysics that makes the epistemology unacceptable.
But we know from Phædrus’ metaphysics that the harmony Poincaré talked about is not subjective. It is the source of subjects and objects and exists in an anterior relationship to them. It is not capricious, it is the force that opposes capriciousness; the ordering principle of all scientific and mathematical thought which destroys capriciousness, and without which no scientific thought can proceed. What brought tears of recognition to my eyes was the discovery that these unfinished edges match perfectly in a kind of harmony that both Phædrus and Poincaré talked about, to produce a complete structure of thought capable of uniting the separate languages of Science and Art into one.“ [Conclusion of Poincare Chautaqua“]
On either side of us the mountains have become steep, to form a long narrow valley that winds into Missoula. This head wind has worn me down and I’m tired now. Chris taps me and points to a high hill with a large painted M on it. I nod. “(Cont.next)
Four miles northwest of central Missoula, MT The “long narrow valley “is seen at left, between the lighter green and the real dark green at the apparent end or the road seen in the fore ground. If you chick on the photo until you get the largest view you will just make out an "M" on the mountainside. As you will see next photo, it would be rough to ride a cycle up to it!
