Description
Emerging Dynamics: Science, Energy, Society and Values explores how science, technology, and scientific values shape our world today and tomorrow. This book advocates for a balanced approach that combines human values with scientific facts.
The four main subjects of the text are the impact of modern science on human life, the significance of human values in science and society, the need for mutual accommodation between scientific and traditional values, and the fundamental role of energy in civilization. The book takes a holistic approach, combining knowledge from various branches of natural science with insights from history, philosophy, art, faith, and cultural traditions.
By examining the role of energy in sustaining civilization and the impact of biomedical science on humanity, this timely book makes a case for a hopeful future based on both science and values. A balanced approach that guides scientific applications by human values and acknowledges the facts of science is proposed as a way forward.
