Is Scientology all based on one man's work?
Although Dianetics and Scientology were discovered by L. Ron Hubbard,
he wrote: "Acknowledgment is made to fifty thousand years of thinking
men without whose speculations and observations the creation and
construction of Dianetics would not have been possible. Credit in
particular is due to:
"Anaxagoras, Thomas Paine, Aristotle, Thomas Jefferson, Socrates, René
Descartes, Plato, James Clerk Maxwell, Euclid, Charcot, Lucretius,
Herbert Spencer, Roger Bacon, William James, Francis Bacon, Sigmund
Freud, Isaac Newton, van Leeuwenhoek, Cmdr. Joseph Thompson (MC) USN,
William A. White, Voltaire, Will Durant, Count Alfred Korzybski, and my
instructors in atomic and molecular phenomena, mathematics and the
humanities at George Washington University and at Princeton."
