The age of Francis Bacon marked the beginning of a long period when
empirical science was seen as the key to progress in extending
man's control over nature. Recently, however, a breakdown of
confidence in the outcome of worldwide industrialism and a growing
concern over threats to the earth's ecosystems have brought
mounting criticism of specialized, exploitative science. Demands
for conservation and social responsibility are leading to a
reappraisal of the whole philosophy of science that has been
dominant for three centuries, and many observers see this as a new
scientific revolution, comparable in significance with that of the
seventeenth century.
