Synopsis
In this compelling and challenging argument, biologist Rupert Sheldrake explains that the fundamental delusion of science is the belief that it has understood the nature of reality, that all of the fundamental questions have been answered and only the details remain to be ironed out. In an impassioned contention, however, Sheldrake demonstrates that science—true science, which should be skeptical and inquisitive—has been constricted by assumptions that have become dogmas. He scientifically tackles these dogmas—which include the belief that all reality is either material or physical, that the world is composed of dead matter, that nature has no purpose, that the conscience is merely a physical manifestation of the brain—showing that science would be immeasurably better without them: freer, more interesting, and more fun.

Review

"If you agree that science must be freed from the shackles of antiquated beliefs, then read this book. If you don't agree, then read it twice." —Dean Radin, author, The Conscious Universe, on the English-language edition
"Certainly we need to accept the limitations of much current dogma and keep our minds as open as we reasonably can. Sheldrake may help us do so through this well-written, challenging, and always interesting book." —Financial Times, on the English-language edition

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Encuadernación: Rústica con solapas Colección: Nueva Ciencia El espejismo de la ciencia es la creencia en que la ciencia ya comprende la naturaleza de la realidad. Las preguntas fundamentales habrían sido ya respondidas y sólo quedarían los detalles por completar. En este apasionante libro, el doctor Rupert Sheldrake, uno de los científicos más innovadores del mundo, muestra que la ciencia está oprimida por supuestos que se han consolidado como dogmas. La "perspectiva científica" se ha convertido en un sistema de creencias: - toda realidad es material o física; - el mundo es una máquina constituida por materia muerta; - la naturaleza carece de propósito; - la conciencia no es sino la actividad física del cerebro; - el libre albedrío es una ilusión; - Dios existe sólo como una idea en las mentes humanas. Sheldrake examina científicamente estos dogmas y muestra, de forma tan amena como convincente, que la ciencia estaría mejor sin ellos: sería más libre, más interesante y más divertida. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
