"science" and "laws"

[Jim Devine <JNDF%LMUACAD.BITNET@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Michael Perelman seems to be right in his assertion that German
is a pretentious language (unlike English, of course! :-) )
But in my understanding Marx and Engels both used the *weaker
one*     of two German words that are both translated as "science."
That word is "Wissenschaft" which I understand means "discipliened
thought" rather than "hard, objective, value-free, Physics-like."

in pen-l solidarity,
