The aim of this book is not merely to provide information, but to cultivate the ability to think critically, understand complex concepts, and make informed, wise decisions. It is not intended only for students of science, but for every citizen who aspires to establish reason, peace, and progress in society. A citizen with a scientific temper not only makes better decisions but also becomes a responsible, tolerant individual who upholds democratic values. As Nehru rightly said, “Scientific temper is the temper of a free man.” (Discovery of India) In other words, scientific temper is the very condition of freedom - mentally, socially, and politically.
The first chapter of this book defines scientific temper, outlines its characteristics, and explains its importance in society. It emphasizes that a scientific temper is not just a way of thinking, but a way of life—one that enhances both the personality and the social role of every citizen. The second chapter sheds light on the historical background of this mindset, illustrating how the scientific temper has advanced humanity throughout ancient, medieval, and modern history, both in India and globally. Famous leaders such as Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Swami Vivekananda, Mahatma Gandhi, and Jawaharlal Nehru not only advocated for this way of thinking but also embodied it in their lives.
The third chapter explores the conflict between scientific temper and superstition. It illustrates how superstitions—whether in the form of faith healing, fear of planets and stars, or blind adherence to traditions without reason—hold both individuals and society back. In contrast, scientific temper encourages us to accept reality, believe in facts, and move toward self-reliance.
The fourth chapter addresses a highly sensitive and contemporary issue—the relationship between religion and science. It shows that religiosity and scientific thinking are not inherently opposed, especially when religion is viewed as a form of spiritual discipline and science is seen as a quest for fundamental truth.
