Abstract

“Life is climbing from a merit to another”, pointed out my young study friend in the 1960s. He prepared his doctoral thesis in no fewer than two faculties with strides that were not for me. I could never start climbing a mountain of merits without having any other goal than elevating myself from a position to a higher one. Research should reach the ultimate values, give something to someone, and be ethically valuable for no less than Finland and the whole world.
