About This Quote

This quote is a great example of the power of science. It is not the victory of science that distinguishes our nineteenth century, but the victory of scientific method over science. George Bernard Shaw was a man who had a very unique view of life. He believed in reason and logic and was very skeptical about superstition and religion.

In this quote, Shaw describes the power of science. He says that it is not the victory of science that distinguishes our nineteenth century, but the victory of scientific method over science. In other words, what makes our century different from all previous centuries is not the superiority of our scientific knowledge, but rather the superiority and applicability of scientific method to scientific knowledge.
