This book illustrates the unnaturalness of modern science and technology by tracing their cognitive, evolutionary, and religious origins. It elaborates that all premodern knowers faced inherent limits, and the West was able to develop modern science and technology because of its inherent contradictions forcing the transcendence of limitations.

Dengjian Jin is John J. Curley '60 and Ann Conser Curley '63 Faculty Chair in International Studies, Business and Management and Associate Professor of International Business and Management at Dickinson College, USA.
