Evidence

Instead, he looked to the sciences themselves to recover their links with living, purposive practice. The impetus for this would come from a conservative' view of what science had once been: something in which, until the Middle Ages, directions for right living’ had been inherent in every statement. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 2326
