I was embarrassed about it, and it would have been ridiculous to say this to him. I just told him that I was supposed to be his assistant-that Barattolo had sent me to be his assistant. Carne still protested a bit, then said, "OK, I understand. " And then he left. This was my welcome, and there I stayed for a week as an intrud­ er-because you mustn't forget that it was 1942, and France had been occupied by the Italians, and therefore we weren't very popular. Carne, who belonged to the left, disliked me, but he would not even give me the chance to explain to him that, more or less, my political views were no different from his.

They condition us without offering us any help, they create problems without suggesting any possible solutions. And yet it seems that man will not rid himself of this baggage. He reacts, he loves, he hates, he suffers under the sway of moral forces and myths which today, when we are at the thresh­ old of reaching the moon, should not be the same as those that prevailed at the time of Homer, but nevertheless are. Man is quick to rid himself of his technological and scientific mistakes and misconceptions.

Indeed, science has never been more humble and less dogmatic than it is today. Whereas our moral attitudes are governed by an absolute sense of stultification. In recent years, we have examined these moral attitudes very carefully, we have dissected them and analyzed them to the point of exhaustion. We have been capable of all this but we have not been capable of finding new ones, we have not been capable of making any headway whatsoever toward a solution of this problem, of this ever-increasing split between moral man and scientific man, a split which is becoming more and more serious and more and more accentu­ ated.
