Synopsis
Excerpt from Science, Technology and Development Strategy
It is precisely because it is a social phenomenon that the under developed societies resist science and deny domestic scientific activity the authenticity required. The humanists and the practical men have correctly perceived that its presence as an independent ethos will spell the doom of a status quo in which they have equity despite their proclaimed allegiance to modernization. Thus, the action-postponing fiumtionality to their purposes in the endless debate as to whether the Soviet or the Western science model is more economic. Thus the decision-avoidance implicit in the protracted discussion as to whether modernization is really worth the cost and the philosophic search for a third route which will be less dehumanizing.
