In the follow-up to his acclaimed Science in the Looking Glass,
Brian Davies discusses deep problems about our place in the world,
using a minimum of technical jargon. The book argues that
'absolutist' ideas of the objectivity of science, dating back to
Plato, continue to mislead generations of both theoretical
physicists and theologians. It explains that the multi-layered
nature of our present descriptions of the world is unavoidable, not
because of anything about the world, but because of our own human
natures. It tries to rescue mathematics from the singular and
exceptional status that it has been assigned, as much by those who
understand it as by those who do not. Working throughout from
direct quotations from many of the important contributors to its
subject, it concludes with a penetrating criticism of many of the
recent contributions to the often acrimonious debates about science
and religions.
