Abstract
In September 1957 the author was invited by Dr. Hugo Boyko to prepare an essay for the book “Science and the Future of Man,” to be published as a first step towards the creation of a “Universal Academy of Art and Science.” This International Academy would transcend national frontiers, both spiritual and geographical, and act as a forum of humanity. Despite the great honour bestowed upon him by this request, the author was most reluctant to accept because in his opinion far more competent scientists with longer experience in research and teaching might have been asked instead.
