Science & the Making of History
Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr., in a continuing series of reports, emphasizes the importance of the work on science by the LaRouche Youth Movement "as the necessary foundation and guide for a competent study of the history of European civilization." Citing his own insight, over a lifetime, into fundamental issues of science, he writes: "In this present report, I continue along that pathway, from its inferred, ancient origins, toward its own importance for a competent grasp, today, of that series of great crises of globally extended development of modern European civilization, which is to be traced from the work of Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa's founding of modern science, into the time of the accelerating global economic breakdown-crisis, now in an advanced stage."
