Onscienceandgoodlife

科学在增加美好的积极因素方面所能做的事情，很可能是没有止境的。卫生条件已经得到极大的改善;不管那些怀旧者如何哀叹，与十八世纪任何阶级和民族相比，我们毕竟延长了寿命并减少了疾病。只要把我们已有的知识稍加广泛地应用，我们就会比现在更加健康。未来的发现很可能会极大地加快这方面的进程。

迄今为止对我们生活影响最大的当数自然科学，但是在将来，生理学和心理学的影响很可能远在它之上。当我们发现了性格如何依赖于生理条件时，只要我们愿意，我们就能产生出大量我们所称羡的那种人。智力艺术能力，仁慈---所有这些东西无疑可因科学而增加。只要人们明智地利用科学，在创造美好世界方面所能做的事情，几乎是没有止境的。

关于科学应用到人生这个问题，存在着一种观点，对这种观点，我有些同感，但是最后分析起来，我是不能同意的。它是那些害怕不自然的东西的人所持有的观点。当然卢梭是欧洲这一观点的伟大创始人。在亚洲老子对这一观点的阐述，更是动人心弦，而且要早两千四百年。我认为他们对于自然的赞美，不过是真理与谬误的混合物，而理清这一问题是很重要的。首先要问什么东西是自然的?泛泛说来，是说话者幼年时所习惯的东西。老子反对车道和舟车，这恐怕是他所出生的那个村子不知车道和舟车为何物的缘故。
