There is at least one philosophical problem in which all thinking men are interested. It is the problem of cosmology: the problem of understanding the worldincluding ourselves, and our knowledge, as part of the world. All science is cosmology, I believe, and for me the interest of philosophy, no less than that of science, lies solely in the contributions which it has made to it.
