From superstition to science―an inspiring call to reclaim reason and the spirit of inquiry.
From Myths to Science by Gauhar Raza is a compelling exploration of humanity’s evolution from inherited myths to rational thought, from blind faith to scientific understanding. With clarity and conviction, Raza examines how societies construct myths, how superstition and dogma take hold, and why nurturing a scientific temper is essential for democracy, social progress, and human dignity.
Drawing on history, philosophy, and contemporary discourse, the book challenges pseudoscience and superstition while celebrating the enduring human spirit of curiosity. Blending the analytical precision of a scientist with the lyrical sensibility of a poet and the conviction of an activist, Raza makes complex ideas accessible and engaging for students, thinkers, and general readers alike.
For anyone interested in the intersection of science, culture, and society, From Myths to Science offers a timely, thought-provoking roadmap for reclaiming reason in an age of misinformation.
