Indeed science alone may perhaps be sterile when pursued without an understanding of the world in which scientific knowledge is created and in which the fruits of science are used.

Indeed science alone may perhaps be sterile when pursued wit

Summary

This quote suggests that while science may yield knowledge and advancements, it can be limited in its impact if pursued in isolation from the larger context of the world. Merely acquiring scientific knowledge may be unproductive if one lacks an understanding of the environments in which it is generated and applied. To fully harness the benefits of science, an appreciation and comprehension of the broader societal, cultural, and ethical aspects that shape scientific progress and utilize its discoveries are essential. This quote emphasizes the importance of considering the interplay between science and the world it operates within.
