Also, it's a matter what is seen / perceived by "the public" and what by the scientists themselves.
there i agree. but for speaking about science, it may be best to integrate how scientists are perceiving themshelves and what exactly science tries to do.
Whereas I see a slight tendency in the Siences towards a different view , I still have the feeling that the "public" point of view is still rather materialistic.
really less than in XIXth century (gold age of 'positivism' and belief that science is a "progress"). IMO.
I fear that with the use of the 2 atomic bombs in 45, many people have lost their enthusiasm for science (well in a way it was not an enthusiasm really well founded so it may be not so unfortunate but...) for "new spiritualities". And by this expressions i mean "more or less religious" sects.
