This title was first published in 1968. The dynamic advance of scientific discovery in recent decades, together with the rapid development of the material base of human life, is assuming the magnitude of revolutionary changes that promise in the long run to transform the nature of civilization and open up boundless prospects for a new form of society. These considerations underscore the urgency of probing the substance of the scientific and technological revolution of our day — its social and human roots and implications. In 1965, a systematic examination of these problems was undertaken in Czechoslovakia by a research team made up of workers in various branches of science. This volume is the results of that research. Its aim was to draw, insofar as this was possible, a synthetic picture of the scientific and technological revolution against the background of the two social systems — socialism and capitalism — while also attempting to suggest ways of handling the inevitable social and human issues involved.
RADOVAN RICHTA, M.A., D.Sc., Corresponding member, Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences (CAS), head of the interdisciplinary team for research on the social and human implications of the scientific and technological revolution, Institute of Philosophy (CAS), in cooperation with a research team.
