Scientific View

In The Scientific Outlook, Bertrand Russell explains what science is, focuses on what distinguishes science from other forms of knowing such as religion and art, and shares his predictions about the future of the scientific society. According to Russell, science investigates the general laws that connect certain phenomena, and in this sense, it is superior to other forms of knowledge that can only reach abstract and imaginary knowledge.

Science transforms humans into stronger beings through technology. Man has never refrained from using this power on his environment and himself. Russell discusses, through the depiction of a "utopia", what kind of positive and negative consequences this use of power may have in the scientific society of the future, if humanity is to continue on the path of science. It is up to the reader to answer the question of whether this "utopia" is positive or negative. Those looking for an answer to the question can look at Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and George Orwell's 1984, because according to some, The Scientific Perspective is the father of these works.
