The bestselling author of Dogs Who Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home offers a fascinating new assessment of today's science that fundamentally changes our view of what's possible.
In this book (originally published to acclaim in the UK as The Science Delusion), Dr. Rupert Sheldrick, one of the world's most innovative scientists, shows the ways in which science is limited by assumptions that have become more rigid over the years. Such prejudices are not only restrictive but also dangerous for the future of humanity.
According to these principles, all reality is material or physical; The world is a machine made of inanimate matter. Nature is aimless; Consciousness is nothing but the physical activity of the brain. Free will is an illusion; God exists only as an idea in the human mind, imprisoned in our skulls.
But should science be a belief system or a research method? Sheldrick shows that materialist ideology is in decline. Under its influence, increasingly expensive research yields diminishing returns while societies around the world pay the price.
In the skeptical spirit of true science, Sheldrick turns the ten basic tenets of materialism into exciting questions, showing how they all open up surprising new opportunities for discovery.
This book will drastically change your perspective on what is real and possible.
