Miguel de Unamuno's Attitude to the Sciences
Original language description
The topic of science and its impact on human values is often discussed and was quite a popular problem in early 20th century Spain. Miguel de Unamuno is no exception and contributes to the intellectual Spanish milieu with opinions which are different during his youth and after his existential crisis in 1897. Unamuno sees in science a certain danger for human values because reason and logic always leave aside the aspects of man’s existence that are beyond their reach. Revealing the sense of our being becomes something unworthy of any kind of investigation. It leads to a growing distance from capturing the inner essence of life, and so to a mutually contradictory relationship between faith, the personal, and reason, the objective. According to Unamuno, the uniqueness of human existence with its questions for the sense of life should be brought back to prominence; otherwise an important part of ourselves will disappear irretrievably.
