Science and its practical applications in the form of technology, or the "science" of the industrial arts, as Webster defines the term, have had an enormous impact on modern society and culture. For generations it was believed that science and technology would provide the solutions to the problem of human suffering disease, famine, war, and poverty. But today these problems remain; in fact, many argue that they are expanding. Some even conclude that science and technology as presently constituted are not capable of meeting the collective needs of mankind. A more radical position is that modern scientific methods and institutions, because of their very nature and structure, thwart basic human needs and emotions; the catastrophes of today’s world, and the greatest threat to its future, some claim, are the direct consequences of science and technology.
A major paradox has been created: scientific rationality taken as the supreme form of the application of the rational faculties of human beings and which, along with its practical applications in the form of technological development, have liberated man from ignorance, from the whims and oppressions of a relentless nature and while
having subordinated the earth to man
, has become the potential instrument of the self-destruction of the human species. War, pollution, and economic oppression are seen as the inevitable results of scientific advance by large sections of the public. The atomic disaster of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings are seen as the products of an uninterested scientific rationality.
In recent decades in the West there has emerged a wave of anti-scientific, antirational moods, especially among the young people, which threatens a complete rejection not simply of the technological fruits of science, but of scientific rationalism as well, in favor of one or another version of mysticism, irrationalism, and primitivism—or as one philosopher of science has called it, of blood and soil philosophy. Wartovsky has described the argument of the anti-science people as one in which we are warned to "listen to the blood, get back to our roots, and cast out the evil demons of a blind and inhuman rationality, and thereby we will save ourselves". The only "reasonable thing" to do, according to the oppositionist, is to reject reason itself—at least in its scientific form. The very rejection of that reason, in "reasonable" terms, is in itself a paradox.
The author’s attitude towards the anti-scientific wave might be _____.
选项
A、supportive
B、disapproving
C、neutral
D、subjective
答案
B
解析
观点态度题。从最后一句“从理性这方面说,拒绝理性,其本身就是矛盾的”可以推断出作者否认反科学主义的观点,故B项正确。
