As so often happens, scientists understand better than many "humanists" the meaning and function of artistic creativity. But we know now that artistic imagination has a mythological, i.e. religious, source. Consequently, a holistic system of knowledgeintegrating the scientific, philosophic, religious, and artistic approaches and creationsmight become again possible in the near future.
Of course, this is only a possibility, depending on what men will decide or will be able to do with their future. For the moment, we knowor we only feel, with "fear and trembling"that we are entering into a new era.
