E.F. Schumacher, A Guide for the Perplexed

If the great Cosmos is seen as nothing but a chaos of particles without purpose or meaning, so man must be seen as nothing but a chaos of particles without purpose or meaning -- a sensitive chaos perhaps, capable of suffering pain, anguish, and despair, but a choas all the same (whether he likes it or not) -- a rather unfortunate cosmic accident of no consequence whatsoever.
This is the picture presented by modern materialistic Scientism, and the only question is: Does it make sense of what we can actually experience?
