先不說别的,關於安全感的觀察很有價值。
I myself never thought of it, yet it makes great sense once you have pointed it out.
I've noticed that there seems to be two types of scientists (or mathematicians, philosophers, artists etc): those who function at the level of knowledge and those at the level of perception 覺知. The former perform their duties within some established frameworks built with readily knowledge, the later underneath it from where new frameworks rise. Only the later can do fundamental work. Borrowing from Buddhist ideas, their works come from something closer to 覺性 which is the true source of knowledge. All knowledge is secondary in this sense. Einstein clearly belongs to the later camp which has a much smaller number of members.
Therefore I think science can be a form of 智慧學 , but only typically in the hands like Einstein's. This is why it is less commonly practiced that way.
