Modern Science and the Dehumanization of Man
Philipe Sherrad critiques the empirico-rationalist philosophy that denies metaphysical knowledge, tracing its roots to 19th-century thinkers like Sir William Hamilton. The author argues that this outlook fosters a dehumanized, mechanized society, replacing the spiritually integrated medieval world, despite its shorcomings in other fields. He contends that modern science, rooted in rationalism, reduces human beings to mere mechanical entities, stripping life of its sacred and imaginative qualities. Sherrard calls for a reversal of this trend through a recovery of spiritual awareness, asserting that only a religious understanding can truly grasp and preserve the essence of human nature.
