Man as a Function of Universe:
“What we all ought to be doing, is saying what needs to be done? And what do I need to know in order to be able to do it? What needs to be done then, how would I learn about that? I’d have to have some understanding of whether man has a function in Universe. Are we just theater-goers, as Shakespeare suggested, to be pleased or displeased? I know a great many human beings who did look upon life as something to be pleased or displeased about, as if the Universe ought to be pleasing them. And I came gradually to an awareness of what I think is our function in the Universe.”
