The Place of Science in Modern Civilization: And Other Essays is a collection of essays written by Thorstein Veblen, an American economist and sociologist, in 1919. The book explores the role of science in modern society and its impact on civilization. Veblen argues that science has become the dominant force in modern civilization, replacing religion and tradition as the guiding principles of society. He examines the relationship between science and industry, and how scientific discoveries have led to technological advancements that have transformed society. The book also touches on other topics such as the nature of knowledge, the role of education, and the impact of war on society. Veblen’s writing is characterized by his critical and analytical approach, and he offers a unique perspective on the social and economic issues of his time. The essays in this book are thought-provoking and insightful, and they continue to be relevant to modern-day discussions on the role of science in society. Overall, The Place of Science in Modern Civilization: And Other Essays is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science and its impact on modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
