Ernest Gellner Quotes

Industrial Society Is Not Merely One Containing 'industry,' Large-scale Productive Units Capable Of Supplying Man's Material Needs In A Way Which Can Eliminate Poverty: It Is Also A Society In Which Knowledge Plays A Part Wholly Different From That Which It Played In Earlier Social Forms, And Which Indeed Possesses A Quite Different Type Of Knowledge. Modern Science Is Inconceivable Outside An Industrial Society: But Modern Industrial Society Is Equally Inconceivable Without Modern Science. Roughly, Science Is The Mode Of Cognition Of Industrial Society, And Industry Is The Ecology Of Science.
