Arguing Science: A Dialogue on the Future of Science and Spirit

Rupert Sheldrake, Michael Shermer, "Arguing Science: A Dialogue on the Future of Science and Spirit"
ISBN: 193968157X | 2016 | EPUB | 160 pages | 314 KB

Two controversial authors debate the nature and methods of science, its dogmas, and its future. Rupert Sheldrake argues that science needs to free itself from materialist dogma while Michael Shermer contends that science, properly conceived, is a materialistic enterprise; for science to look beyond materialist explanations is to betray science and engage in superstition. Issues discussed include: materialism and its role in science, whether belief in God is compatible with a scientific perspective, and parapsychology.

Michael Shermer is Editor-in-Chief of Skeptic magazine and the author of numerous books including Skeptic.

Rupert Sheldrake is a biologist and author of ten books including his most recent, Science Set Free, which challenges scientific dogma.
