This is a facsimile edition of a 1946 work of the American pragmatictheologian Henry Nelson Wieman (1884-1975). For Wieman, science and technologyrepresent great power for good and evil, and they must be directed toward theservice of that force which creates, sustains, and fulfills human life. But aslong as this force is portrayed in supernaturalist terms, as the God who iswholly transcendent of the world, its actual operation in human life is beyondthe reach of inquiry. For science to serve the source of good, that source mustbe understood as open to rational-empirical examination.
