PP. 125-7のIt...that...について*1。
7.2 例題 It has become usual to indicate the close relation between the particular problems studied by the scientist and the social conditions and technical requirements of his age. This certainly helps to dispel the false impression that the "pure" scientist works in a vacuum, completely unrelated to the conditions of the external world. It serves to emphasize that the scientist, however abstract his subject, should be regarded as an element in the social picture of his time. It does not necessarily imply, what is obviously incorrect, that all the work done by scientists has resulted, however unconsciously on their part, from some pressing social need. It is clear from the number of major discoveries that have remained without possible application for many decades that the scientist's free spirit of inquiry frequently precedes the needs of the community in which he lives.
