| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "The Place of Science in Modern Civilisation, and Other Essays" by Thorstein Veblen is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. This work examines the influence and role of scientific inquiry within the framework of modern civilization, addressing themes such as the perception of modern culture's superiority, the evolution of scientific thought, and the relationship between science and various cultural constructs. Veblen's exploration is both historical and philosophical, aiming to lay bare the underpinnings of modern scientific thought and its implications for society. The opening of the essay delves into the distinction between modern civilization and earlier cultures, positing that while modern society excels in its matter-of-fact understanding and scientific advancement, it lacks in areas such as creative arts and spiritual insights that other civilizations have offered. Veblen suggests that the current faith in scientific knowledge has established its definitive place in modern civilization, surpassing the relevance of traditional authorities such as religion and mythology. He raises critical questions regarding the origins of this scientific "cult," probing its cultural antecedents and its compatibility with human nature. This opening portion establishes a framework for understanding how science is perceived as both an asset and a potential detriment to the human experience in contemporary society.
