The Limits of Science – Colin McGinn
It is salutary to curb the scientific hubris that has dominated our culture during this [the 20th] century. Science has undoubtedly achieved wonderful things, but it has a dark side. The unbridled arrogance of science is part of what lies behind nuclear weapons, pollution, unnecessary animal (and human) experimentation. Showing that science has its limits is helpful in qualifying its image as all-conquering and invincible.
(Atheist philosopher, Colin McGinn, The Mysterious Flame: Conscious Minds in a Material World, 1999)
