Similarly social science could usefully come out from under the shadow of physics, and broaden its scope to social philosophy. But he went crazy at the half-way point, and never provided his alternative. A technoscience superstructure on a natural philosophy base, is the reconstruction of science that we need. Time will tell. Astronomer Sagan bemoans the scientific illiteracy of the general public, but many of the reasons for this shortcoming can be found in the scientific attitude itself, just as the reasons for the decline of pure science are to be found as much within science and without.
Science is objective, but human experience is subjective.
Most pretend that their motives are as pure as the science they claim to serve. In the pursuit of results, far too often, the end justifies the means. This is merely ONE of the character flaws in the collective scientific psyche, but it does indicate that something is wrong. Science is a sub-culture of particular beliefs and behaviours whose strengths are also its weaknesses. Specialized knowledge is an elite occupation, but we live in a democratic culture.
