Impact of Science on Society - Russell Bertrand
Many of the revolutionary effects of science and technology are obvious enough. Insightful and controversial in equal measure, Russell argues that science offers the world greater well-being than it has ever known, on the condition that prosperity is dispersed; power is diffused by means of a single, world government; birth rates do not become too high; and war is abolished. Bertrand Russell saw in the 1950s that there are also many negative aspects of scientific innovation.
He imagines mankind in a 'race between human skill as to means and human folly as to ends', but believes human society will ultimately choose the path of reason.This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Preface by Tim Russell acknowledges that is a tall order, but remains essentially optimistic.
