Excerpt from The Idolatry of Science
I have used'it in this book in, its more modern application, and I mean by it those branches of knowledge only which are associ ated'with/ the law of numbers, of dimension, of motion and of time which is its measure ment, with trigonometry, conic sections, the differential calculus and all the higher mathe maties; with all the discovered laws of Natureassociated with gravitation, electricity, mag netism, light, heat, statics, physics, dynamics and the like in the inorganic world and with the laws and hypotheses connected with or gamic matter in so far as they can be proved to be immutable.
And by A man of Science I mean one whose interest is centred in a study of these fields of knowledge, who devotes his energies to ascertaining proved phenomena and per haps in formulating hypotheses upon them. Such a man for example as Darwin, or Newton, or Lord Merchison the inventor of logarithms.

Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the widely held belief that science is the most significant force for good in society, and instead argues that an over-reliance on science and reason has, in fact, led to detrimental outcomes for the human race. The author, himself a doctor of medicine and thus quite familiar with the scientific process, identifies rampant social problems such as environmental degradation and the development of inhumane technologies as examples of the negative consequences that have arisen when science is elevated above all other considerations, such as morality, ethics, and the cultivation of the humanities. This book is a must-read for anyone grappling with the complex relationship between science and humanity in the modern world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
