Abstract: Abstract Science, technology, and humanism are interconnected forces shaping our world. This chapter reflects on their historical and contemporary dialogue, emphasizing the enduring relevance of scientific inquiry, critical thinking, and ethical considerations. Through the lens of Galileo’s defiance and Brecht’s dramatization, it explores the tension between knowledge and authority. The chapter argues for a balanced approach to technological advancements, integrating humanistic values to navigate the complexities of the digital age. Highlighting the role of education, interdisciplinary collaboration, and responsible governance, it advocates for a future where innovation and humanism coexist to address global challenges and enhance societal welfare.
