Humanism and Science
The most common view of the relation between humanism \nand science is that the two elements are antithetic. In my view \nhumanism and science are complementary. And indeed I \nbelieve that in the last analysis each includes the other which \nis not to say they are identical. But this antithetic view \nhas a long and I suppose distinguished history dating back \nto virtually the very beginnings of modern science
Inquiring into Inquiry
For what specific purposes might we wish to limit \ninquiry? Do we wish to curb only the means or even the \nends of inquiry? Let me advance some suggestions. \nOne is the preservation of human dignity. We should \nnot do experiments that involuntarily make of man a \nmeans rather than an end. The ethics of human experimentation \nare, I think, now rather well accepted, even \nthough it must be recognized that such restraints blunt \npure inquiry
Prospects for Future Scientific Developments
Ours is a time of intense self-doubt, \ncorroding confidence and crippling \nresolve; a time of troubled present and \nominous future; a time of strange \nclouds and sudden shadows seen in a \nfading light with cracking nerve. And \nhence it is not surprising that so great \na triumph as man's discovery of the \nmolecular basis of inheritance should \nprovoke fear instead of joy, breed suspicion \ninstead of zest, and spawn the \ntroubled anguish…
