Abstract:
Science, being at the highest level of human consciousness, is itself subject to Chaos, which it seeks to har monize in human consciousness. And in addition to the natural influence of the unknown-new Chaos "from above," which it essentially clears away, Chaos is also brought into Science "from below"—from the ignorant philistine milieu. This is why scientific and technological progress proceeds along very crooked, circuitous paths and often leads to dead ends. And in our own Phys.-Tech., despite the fact that I myself have uncovered many errors in the Fundamentals of Thermoelectricity formulated by Abram Fedorovich Ioffe, I nevertheless believe that since his "departure" from Phys.-Tech., a worthy Scientific Leader has not been found.
