It must be admitted that to a considerable extent the progress
thus procured has been only technical: it has provided more
efficient means for satisfying preexistent desires, rather than
modified the quality of human purposes
It must be admitted that to a considerable extent the progress
thus procured has been only technical: it has provided more
efficient means for satisfying preexistent desires, rather than
modified the quality of human purposes. There is, for example,
no modern civilization which is the equal of Greek culture in all
respects. Science is still too recent to have been absorbed into
imaginative and emotional disposition. Men move more swiftly and
surely to the realization of their ends, but their ends too
largely remain what they were prior to scientific enlightenment.
This fact places upon education the responsibility of using
science in a way to modify the habitual attitude of imagination
and feeling, not leave it just an extension of our physical arms
and legs.
