More about the book
Focusing on the interplay between science and society, Veblen explores how Western culture uniquely prioritizes scientific understanding, particularly within Christian contexts. He questions the implications of this obsession with empirical facts, pondering the potential neglect of art and other vital aspects of life. By analyzing the origins and consequences of this "cult of science," Veblen invites readers to reflect on the balance between knowledge and the broader human experience.
