Passage- 2

We take it for granted now that science has a social responsibility. The idea would not have occurred to Newton or Galileo. They thought of science as an account of the world as it is, and the only responsibility that they acknowledged was to tell the truth. The idea that science is a social enterprise is modern, and it begins at the industrial revolution. We are surprised that we cannot trace a social sense further back, because we nurse the illusion that the industrial revolution ended golden age.

परिच्छेद-2

अब हम यह मान लेते हैं कि विज्ञान का एक सामाजिक उत्तरदायित्व है। यह विचार न्यूटन या गैलिलियो के मन में नहीं आया होगा। उन्होंने विज्ञान को जगत् के एक विवरण के रूप में माना जैसा कि यह है, और उन्होंने जिस एकमात्र उत्तरदायित्व को स्वीकार किया, वह था सत्य को प्रकट करना। यह विचार आधुनिक है कि विज्ञान एक सामाजिक उद्यम है, और यह औद्योगिक क्रांति से प्रारंभ होता है। हम आश्चर्यचकित हैं कि हम सामाजिक बोध को और अधिक अतीत में नहीं खोज सकते, क्योंकि हम यह भ्रम पालते हैं कि औद्योगिक क्रांति ने एक स्वर्ण युग का अंत कर दिया।
