Excerpt from Science and Citizenship: A Lecture Delivered Before the Manchester Sociological Society November 13th, 1905

What is the relevance of all this for science There are two dominant moods or manifestations of science: the cosmic, the naturalistic or geo graphical mood, on the one hand; and on the other, the humanist, the historical, the idealist mood. In the former, the cosmic mood, the scientist feels a relatively slight interest in the human race and its doings. There are so many more impressive phenomena in the field of ob servation! Are there not one hundred thousand species of beetles compared with a single species of man The entomologist bulks larger in science than the sociologist, simply because the boy is father to the man. The scientist in his cosmic mood is a stereotyped, a perpetual boy. The curiosity of the boy about the wonders of nature ceases, from the moment when his collection of curiosities fills the last of his pockets. But the pockets of the scientist take the form of extensible museums; and hence the temptation to go on collecting, until the habit determines his life, and in course of time he finds himself unable to feel either the cosmic or the human emotion.
