  Desiderius Erasmus - Free net encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Despite being illegitimate, Erasmus was cared for by his parents until their early deaths from the plague in 1483, and then given the best education available to a young man of his day in a series of monastic or semi-monastic schools.
Erasmus held himself aloof from all entangling obligations; yet he was in a singularly true sense the center of the literary movement of his time.
Erasmus, on the other hand, preferred for the prince to be loved, and suggested that the prince needed a well-rounded education in order to govern justly and benevolently and avoid becoming a source of oppression.

We are grateful for this opportunity to publish "Paths of Discovery," adapted from his Erasmus Prize lecture, a courageous and innovative summation of scientific and historical thought, weaving together apparent opposites, ideas whose initial contradiction gradually converge.
The first convergence is between an animist or religious world view and the scientific view, one giving birth to the other, belief and negation meeting on the ground of common action to enhance the survival of man and to give meaning to his experience.
