World Chaos: The Responsibility of Science

By William McDougall

Examining the attitudes surrounding the natural sciences at the time it was first published in 1931, this book contends that an unreflective belief in the power of science, and especially in humanity's capacity to turn such knowledge to noble ends, could lead to catastrophic results for human civilisation.
