The Impact of Science on Society by Bertrand Russell  original edition 1953Available to read online at SCRIBD: http://www.scribd.com/doc/30042334/The-Impact-of-Science-on-Society...

Excerpt: Prefatory Note:  “This book is based upon lectures originally given at Ruskin College, Oxford, England. Three of these-- Chapter I, “Science and Tradition,” Chapter II, “General Effects of Scientific Techniques,” and Chapter VI, “Science and Values”--were subsequently repeated at Columbia University, New York, and published by the Columbia University Press. None of the other chapters have been published before in the United States. The last chapter in the present book, “Can a Scientific Society be Stable?” was the Lloyd Roberts Lecture given at the Royal Society of Medicine, London.”

Bertrand Russell biography

Excerpt: Chapter III “Scientific Technique in an Oligarchy” “Fichte laid it down that education should aim at destroying free will, so that, after pupils have left school, they shall be incapable, throughout the rest of their lives, of thinking or acting otherwise than as their schoolmasters would have wished. But in his day this was an unattainable ideal: what he regarded as the best system in existence produced Karl Marx. In future such failures are not likely to occur where there is dictatorship. Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible. Even if all are miserable, all will believe themselves happy, because the government will tell them that they are so.” (page 50)
