The Place of Science in Modern Civilization: And Other Essays is a collection of essays written by Thorstein Veblen and published in 1919. In this book, Veblen explores the role of science in modern society and its impact on civilization. He argues that science has become a dominant force in modern life and that its influence is felt in every aspect of society, from economics and politics to culture and art.Veblen also discusses the relationship between science and religion, and how the two have been in conflict throughout history. He argues that science has replaced religion as the dominant worldview in modern society, and that this has led to a decline in the influence of religious institutions.Other topics explored in the book include the role of education in modern society, the nature of human behavior, and the impact of technology on civilization. Throughout the essays, Veblen offers a critical and insightful analysis of modern society and its relationship with science.Overall, The Place of Science in Modern Civilization: And Other Essays is a thought-provoking and engaging read that offers valuable insights into the role of science in modern society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science, the philosophy of science, or the impact of science on civilization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
