Not only is it correct and true, but it is more perspicuous, seeing more truths as well as higher truths. That is, the lack of health not only feels awful but is a form of blindness, a cognitive pathology as well as moral and emotional loss. Futhermore, it is a form of crippling, of loss of capacities, of lesser ability to do and to achieve. It takes great love to be able to leave something alone, to let it be and to become. The study of scientists is clearly a basic, even necessary aspect of the study of science.
Science is based on human values and is itself a value system.
However, the only way we now know of preventing contamination of our perception of nature, of society, or of ourselves, by human values, is to be very conscious of these values at all times, to understand their influence on perception, and with the aid of such understanding to make the necessary corrections. We must also take into account the general finding that he who overspecializes is usually not much good for anything in the long run, since he suffers as a whole human being. The neurotic person distorts reality, makes demands upon it, imposes premature conceptualizations upon it, is afraid of the unknown and of novelty, is too much determined by his intrapersonal needs to be a good reporter of reality, is too easily frightened,is too eager for other people's approval, etc. We must remember that the individual partly creates his barriers and his objects of value, that they must be defined partially in terms t by the particular organism in the situation.
