The bestselling author of "Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are
Coming Home" offers an intriguing new assessment of modern day
science that will radically change the way we view what is
possible.
In "Science Set Free" (originally published to acclaim in the UK
as" The Science Delusion"), Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, one of the
world's most innovative scientists, shows the ways in which science
is being constricted by assumptions that have, over the years,
hardened into dogmas. Such dogmas are not only limiting, but
dangerous for the future of humanity.
According to these principles, all of reality is material or
physical; the world is a machine, made up of inanimate matter;
nature is purposeless; consciousness is nothing but the physical
activity of the brain; free will is an illusion; God exists only as
an idea in human minds, imprisoned within our skulls.
But should science be a belief-system, or a method of enquiry?
Sheldrake shows that the materialist ideology is moribund; under
its sway, increasingly expensive research is reaping diminishing
returns while societies around the world are paying the price.
In the skeptical spirit of true science, Sheldrake turns the ten
fundamental dogmas of materialism into exciting questions, and
shows how all of them open up startling new possibilities for
discovery.
"Science Set Free" will radically change your view of what is real
and what is possible.
