From the article: "The pre-modern belief in the enchantment of the world – modernised in Romanticism, blending scientific rationality with Hopkins’s conviction of God’s worldly grandeur – offers a more humane and generous account of our place in creation, and it provides the most compelling foundation for opposition to capitalism."
The pre-modern world was by definition pre-scientific method. Ex, arguendo, the capitalism component the author rightly critiques, retreating to a pre-Renaissance scientific (and technological) world would be a return to a time of ignorance and delusion.
