[Mahender Singh · Rating 3 out of 5]

The writers mention about the enlightenment and Renaissance when the ration and reason seem to win over mysticism and humans started believing that nature may be oveecome through science and human efforts but then the philosophy of human limits and dangers of attempt to control the nature were propagated.
Ultimately, scientists themselves started taking shelter more of imagination and less of experimentation.
