Note 10 in page 439 Bloch's position is further characterized by his favorable review of Erich Heller's The Disinherited Mind (American Scientist, XLI, iv [Oct. 1953], 619-622). The opening essay of Heller's book is a discussion of Goethe's relation to science which would give Prof. King much more cause for complaint than my article.
