Science became "the Grand Revelator of Modern Western Culture" through a series of historical accidents. A consequence is that our most trusted way of exploring the world is a "narrow frame"—well suited for some purposes (such as developing science and technology), but poorly for others (notably for understanding "human development", and for developing culture).

An even larger problem, however, is that science constitutes a 'hammer'—a specialized set of tools, which make us favor disciplinary interests, and ignore the needs of people and osociety.


Narrow frame in physics

We adopted this keyword, narrow frame, from Werner Heisenberg, who in "Physics and Philosophy" (subtitled "Revolution in Modern Science") explained the narrow frame and its consequences (see our summary here).

Click here to hear Heisenberg say that

Most people believe that the atomic technique is the most important consequence. It was different for me. I believed that the philosophical consequences from atomic physics will make a bigger change than the technical consequences in the long run. And on the general consequences on atomic physics one can think about were well above here. So we know because of atomic physics and what was learned from it that general problems look different than before. For example, the relationship between science and religion, and more generally, the way we see the world.

Here you'll find a couple of epistemological notes by Einstein, which will also be relevant.
