Needham quotes a good story about the diffence between mystical and scientific approaches to knowledge. II:510 Needham
To me [the Roman Catholic Church] embodies the greatest and most ignored evil on the face of the plant. I arrive at this conclusion by extrapolating its effect on me.
Unrecognized evil is a danger to survival.
The altrnative to the rule of law is the private judgement of the indiviual with the power to decide. The rule of law created dependencies (= consistencies) between the judges.
[page 120]
We should avoid all positive (arbitrry) law as a human fiction and most likely to contradict the law of nature, leading to avoidable conflict. The Roman Catholic Church is a major source of avoidable conflict, death and disease.

The author has set himself to interpret the Chinese mind in Western terms, and he is perhaps unique among living scholars in possessing the necessay combination of qualifications for this formidable undertaking. The practical importance of Dr Needham's work is as great as its intellectual interest. It is a westerm act of 'recognition' on a higher plane than the diplomatic one.'
