1.4 How come it's all based on one man's work?

In the early 195Os, L. Ron Hubbard 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, Rene' 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, mathe-
matics and the humanities at George Washington
University and at Princeton."
