Description

If, in spite of the optimistic view of positivistic concept of science, there is a worldwide environmental
crisis confronting us, so there must be something wrong with our concept of science. In other words, if science
and technology have been regarded as among the causes of environmental problems by some thinkers, so, we
have to look at our concept of science and see if there are some misconceptions about man-nature relationship
which may need revision and refinement. For the dominant concept of science, or analytical tradition of science,
(you may call it as logical atomism, or positivism, or empiricism) is a product of epoch, as a result, reflects ideas
and thoughts of this epoch, as mentioned above.
