Emerging Dynamics: Science, Energy, Society and Values focuses on
the impact of science, science-based technology and scientific
values on present-day humanity and its future. The book advocates
for a science willing to accommodate both human values and
scientific facts. The four main subjects focused on throughout the
text are: The overwhelming impact of modern science and
science-based technology on virtually every aspect of human life
Human values and their significance for science and society The
need for mutual accommodation between scientific values and the
traditional values of society The fundamental role of energy for
civilization and society. The book cuts across scientific
disciplines and looks at modern civilization through the knowledge
provided by the physical, chemical, biomedical and other branches
of natural science. The book is unique in its holistic approach,
combining knowledge acquired by deduction, reduction-induction, and
experimental scientific methods with knowledge acquired through
history, philosophy, the arts, faith and cultural traditions.
Modern civilization's most distinct characteristics are due to
science, science-based technology and energy. The role of energy in
the sustainability of civilization and the impact of biomedical
science on man are especially emphasized throughout this timely
book, making a case for a hopeful future based on both science and
values. A science guided in its applications by human values and a
value system cognizant of the facts of science and willing to
accommodate them
