520 |a The article aims to analyze and evaluate the viability of the salvific hope promised by science and technology which has captured the modern mind. Traditionally the hope of salvation from the wretched human condition and passing into eudaimonic bliss hasbeen offered by religious figures and ideologies. However,the dominant idea of our times is that science and technology in its full growth can fix all human problems: poverty, disease, hunger, etc. It is pointed out that even though science and technology maybe able to solve the problems of disease and hunger, it is not adequate enough to answer our moral dilemmas or illumine our understanding of the meaning and purpose of life. Article concludes with the thoughts of S. Radhakrishnan (an Indian philosopher and statesman) that science and technology only provide the means to the ends proposed b yphilosophy or religion.
