| 1 | Icarus: or The Future of Science (Unabri | Bertrand Russell |
| In "Icarus; or, The Future of Science," Bertrand Russell explores the potential consequences of scientific advancement, drawing parallels between the myth of Icarus and the development of technology. He argues that while science can lead to progress, it also poses risks, particularly regarding power and societal structures. Russell suggests that scientific advancements, especially in the physical sciences, can increase power, lead to industrialism and war, and necessitate large-scale organization, which could potentially be used for oppressive purposes. He questions whether science will ultimately lead to human happiness or exacerbate existing societal problems. Book cover image credited to Gordon Johnson.
