 A Scientist
Reflects on Life
and Society by Dr. Alexis
Carrel
Completed
after his death in 1944, Dr.
Carrel's "A Scientist Reflects
on Life and Society" is a stern
wake-up call for civilization to
embrace "Rules of Life" that
will help humanity continue on
as a civilization into the
future.
Harsh
at times, filled with both
science and religion as well as
cultural analysis and criticism
of pop culture, this
beautifully
written and poetic manifesto
of science, religion and
survival is strong
philosophical medicine for a
sick civilization. And the one
thing it isn't is boring.
Dr. Carrel is at once
conservative and radical,
seeking to renovate society in
drastic, but at the same time
traditional, ways in order for
it to meet the challenges of the
Modern Age - an age he described
in 1944 that is still shockingly
relevant.
Dr. Carrel was behind some of
the great surgical advances of
the 20th century, including the
creation of the first artificial
heart with airman Charles
Lindbergh.
Quotes from the book:
Each individual
contains in himself the whole
past of the human race: the
defects as well as the
qualities of his ancestors.
We
must
increase
the
quality,
quantity
and
intensity of our lives.
People become rich,
not by saving, but by working
and by making the money they
have earned work instead of
lying idle.
Not
to hate one's neighbor is
good, but to love him is far
better.
The best way not to
grow weaker is to increase one's
strength.
To preserve life, it
is not enough to refrain from
destroying it. We must also make
it wider, deeper, bolder and
more joyful.
Nature
smiles on those who are ready
to live hard and dangerously
