Practice Test for AILET - 8 - Question 26

Read the passage and answer the question based on it.The Chief limitation of natural science is that it is not human. But we have to live with human beings including ourselves- and nearly all the problems of life are human, whereas the problems and subject- matter of physics, chemistry and biology are not. When we enter their laboratories, we find little human there, except ourselves and our fellow-workers. We are in a world of cells, elements, atoms (or whatever substitute for them the latest analysis reveals). There are obvious dangers in living in such a world. It is too unlike the world of men to be a good preparation for it; the fundamental reality in that world is human personality; the ideal society is a community of such personalities, self controlling, and self-developing, self-respecting and respecting others. But natural science is not concerned with personality, at least in this sense and in these relations; and there is a risk that when we return to the human world, we may be inclined to ignore its difference from the laboratory, and even to treat men as if they were elements or cells. It is perhaps their training which explains why some scientists are sympathetic towards communism.
Some people turn to communism because it offers them a positive faith in an age of skepticism, makes their decision for them and, once accepted, relieves them of the painful task of thinking for themselves. Materialistic scientists are attracted to communism for different reason. Its drastic methods resemble those inanimate materials with atoms and cells, manipulating  and controlling them in the interest of a great overriding end. It is this control and manipulation that makes the triumphs of science possible; and it seems natural to apply a similar technique to social and political problems, and so achieve more rapid and effective results than the tedious methods of persuasion allow. This technique appears to offer the quickest way to a better and more rational world, and in so good a cause it seems wrong to be too tender with individual personalities and consciences.
