Crisp hardcover. ; "The intimate bond that exists between physical science and technology means that there is not merely a change of view but also a change in man's real relationship to nature; our power over nature increases through the development of science. All this gives rise to a series of grave ethical questions. Traditional ethics, with its static view of man and the world, proved itself unable to deal with these issues. Therefore, a profound reappraisal of ethics imposed itself. The purpose of this book is to contribute to this reappraisal and thus to make it possible for a renewed ethics both to learn from the new developments of science and to offer the necessary guidance to the man of science." ; Duquesne Studies : Philosophical Series; Vol. 23; 182 pages.
