Giordano Bruno Foundation supports Scientific Temper

The Giordano Bruno Foundation reports on its collaboration with Scientific Temperon on its website. The Humanist Press Service (hpd) also reports on the support by the Giordano Bruno Foundation here.

The first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, is quoted as saying that the political programme 1946 was already at the centre of his political programme: "The scientific temper points out the way along which man should travel. It is the temper of a free man. We live in a scientific age, so we are told, but there is little evidence of this temper in the people anywhere or even their leaders. [..] What we need is the scientific approach, the adventurous and yet critical temper of science, the search for truth and new knowledge, the refusal to accept anything without testing and trial, the capacity to change previous conclusions in the face of new evidence, the reliance on observed fact and not on pre-conceived theory, the hard discipline of the mind—all this is necessary, not merely for the application of science but for life itself and the solution of its many problems."

Scientific Temper is grateful for the support and will continue to place a particular focus on global education with this cooperation, which is in line with the motto "Learning how to think, not what to think" as the best long-term investment in the future.
