AbstractThe author examines the alleged value-free character of science by a survey of the split in knowledge, leading to reductionism; which he contrasts with the real philosophy of some scientists, to suggest that the rift between science and religion through Darwin's naturalism was largely needless. The moral values of Hume, Darwin, Spencer, and Mill are opposed to the reductionist schools. Some inferences are drawn with regard to the questions of race and intelligence, and there are proposals for a more adequate education system.
