Dr. S. Radhakrishnan points out that technological education without the complement of humanistic studies will be imperfect and deficient
Science divorced from moral values is not acceptable. Therefore, he recommends an integrated study of humanities and sciences.
Science is both knowledge and power. It has interest as well as utility. It demands discipline and hard work. It develops an attitude of tolerance, open-mindedness, freedom from prejudice and hospitality to new ideas.
It shows us the richness of the world. Scientific knowledge is essential in the modern world. However, science must be oriented in the right direction.
Dr. Radhakrishnan viewed science as the study of the physical world and the pursuit of objective knowledge through observation and experimentation.
Science equips humanity with tools and techniques to control nature, improve living standards, and solve practical problems.
It represents human curiosity about the material universe and answers the "how" questions.
He warned against an overemphasis on science and technology at the expense of the humanities, fearing it could lead to a loss of moral and ethical grounding.
Overspecialization in science might create experts in narrow fields but neglect holistic understanding.
