True Science according to Tolstoy

Quote of the Day
True science investigates and brings to human perception such truths and such knowledge as the people of a given time and society consider most important. Art transmits these truths from the region of perception to the region of emotion.
Leo Tolstoy
(1828-1910)
What do you think about science? Do you agree with Tolstoy when he says, "True science investigates and brings to human perception such truths and such knowledge as the people of a given time and society consider most important. Art transmits these truths from the region of perception to the region of emotion?"

Make a chart with portions of the quote in the left hand column, and examples to support on contradict them in the right hand columns (one for support, one for contradiction). Use your chart to help you formulate an essay on true science.
