Surely you jest! LambdaC's "Actual Science" is as sensually "dead to the
world" as any theologian drunk with religious fanaticism:

"That individual philosophical concepts are not something arbitrary,
something growing up autonomously, but on the contrary grow up connected and
related to one another; that however suddenly and arbitrarily they appear to
emerge in the history of thought, they none the less belong just as much to
a system as do the members of the fauna of a continent; that fact is in the
end also shown in the fact that the most diverse philosophers unfailingly
fill out again and again a certain basic scheme of possible philosophies.
Under an invisible spell they always trace once more the identical orbit:
however independent of one another they may feel, with their will to
criticism or systematism, something in them leads them, something drives
them in a definite order one after another; it is precisely that innate
systematism and relationship of concepts. Their thinking is in fact not so
much a discovering as a recognizing, a remembering, a return and homecoming
to a far-off, primordial total household of the soul out of which those
concepts once emerged - philosophizing is to that extent a species of
atavism of the first rank. The singular family resemblance between all
Indian, Greek and German philosophizing..."      BGE 20

The FACT is, LambdaC's atavistic "Actual Science" is nothing but the
handmaid, the ape,  of "German" Christianity.
