Moreover, modern science is responsible for the systematic profanation of the
two domains of action and contemplation, and also for the plebs’ rise to power in the
European nations. It was science that degraded and democratized the very notion of
knowledge by establishing the uniform criterion of truth and certainty based on the
soulless world of numbers and the superstition represented by the “positivist”
method, which is indifferent toward everything that presents a qualitative and
symbolic character in empirical data. It was science that precluded any appreciation
of the traditional disciplines; through the mirage of evident phenomena that are
accessible to everyone science has upheld the superiority of lay culture by creating
the myth of the scholar and of the scientist. It was science that, by dispelling the
darkness of “superstition” and of “religion,” and by insinuating the image of natural
necessity, has progressively and objectively destroyed any possibility of a subtle
relationship with the secret powers of things. It was science that snatched away from
man the voice of the sea, the earth, and the heavens and created the myth of the “New
Age of Progress,” opening doors for everybody and fomenting the great rebellion of
the slaves. It is science that today, by providing the instruments for the control and
employment of every force of nature according to the ideals of a demonic conquest,
has engendered the most formidable temptation ever to confront man: that he may
mistake his renunciation as an act of real power and something to be proud of, and
mistake a shadow of power for the real thing.
