Science without philosophy is lost
Sertillanges speaking about “hard science” in The Intellectual Life — Its Spirit, Conditions, Methods:
The sciences, without philosophy, discrown themselves and lose their direction. The sciences and philosophy without theology discrown themselves more lamentably, since the crown they repudiate is a heavenly one; and they go more irremediably astray, for earth without heaven cannot find the path of its orbit, nor the influences that give it fruitfulness.
And a continuation of the previous quote:
Now that philosophy has failed in its duty, the sciences fall to a lower level and scatter their effort; now that theology is unknown, philosophy is sterile, comes to no conclusion, has no standard of criticism, no bearings for its study of history; it is often party-spirited and destructive, it is sometimes comprehensive and eclectic; it is never reassuring or really enlightening; it does not teach.
When was the last time that science felt, or was reassuring? If it is, what would it reassure us of? Divorced from philosophy, science (including technology) cannot reassure us of our worth, it cannot reassure us of our telos.
The rampancy use of technology as a scientific conduit cannot reassure us of anything other than our limited power over the tools we create, and even that commonly escapes our control. Instead all we get is a pyrrhic sense of smugness to go with our anti-historicism.
