As We May Think by Vannevar Bush

This article was originally published in the July 1945 issue of The Atlantic Monthly. From the introduction... "As Director of the Office of Scientific Research and Development, Dr. Vannevar Bush has coordinated the activities of some six thousand leading American scientists in the application of science to warfare. In this significant article he holds up an incentive for scientists when the fighting has ceased. He urges that men of science should then turn to the massive task of making more accessible our bewildering store of knowledge. For many years inventions have extended man's physical powers rather than the powers of his mind. Trip hammers that multiply the fists, microscopes that sharpen the eye, and engines of destruction and detection are new results, but the end results, of modern science. Now, says Dr. Bush, instruments are at hand which, if properly developed, will give man access to and command over the inherited knowledge of the ages. The perfection of these pacific instruments should be the first objective of our scientists as they emerge from their war work. Like Emerson's famous address of 1837 on ``The American Scholar,'' this paper by Dr. Bush calls for a new relationship between thinking man and the sum of our knowledge.

THESAURUS PSEUDO-DIONYSII AREOPAGITAE

After the publication in 1993 in the series Thesaurus Patrum Graecorum of the Thesaurus Pseudo-Dionysii Areopagitae, Textus Graecus cum Translationibus Latinis, the Greek text and the Latin translations from the 9th century to the Renaissance, this new publication constitutes a real event for scholarship. Here, for the knowledge and interpretation of an important and difficult work, is now a new key, and better, a second key, Latin-Greek, alongside the already available Greek-Latin.
