Science, as a field, which evolved from philo-Sophia, was about love. Love of wisdom, fascination with the mystery and bravely letting go into the unknown in order to follow the way of nature, with reverence toward the greatness that allows one to under-stand it's work. Now it is all about butchering with sharp tools and measurement instruments, like nature is obligated to make sense, to explain itself to us.
Our pursuit of greatness has made us so small.
