"A Western scientist is not simply or minimally motivated by a drive to master nature and increase productivity, but is also a person who believes that it is possible to augment one's knowledge of the natural world within a community of open inquiry and independent verification. If nature is something we can explore and understand, then we have elevated the rational abilities of humans; we are no longer on par with the natural world, we are free to employ our capacities to see into nature's workings and make use of its powers. Nature on its own is mute. It reveals itself only through the experimental activity of reason."
Richardo Duchesne
