Week 8, Reductionsism

I find it kind of difficult to fully blame the reductionists about their strange way of looking at the world. In their time, everyone saw the universe and the world a certain way and that was considered true and beautiful. Although for us it seems like a ridiculous almost unthinkable way of looking at the universe, for them it was what they saw through their cultural lenses. We are also to blame for that now, too. Maybe three hundred years from now (if humans are still around), people will look back at our present scientists and the culture and society that believed them and laugh.
