Well worth reading to get a sense of why our current culture places so much "faith" in science. Modern science comes out of a tradition of looking for the spiritual in the organic world. The problem with many who have undying faith in science and subscribe to scientism is that many adherents assume a reductionist and trascendent trajectory that reifies the mind and intellect which dismisses our understanding of the biological: humans, like all species and integrated organisms that are not split into body, mind, spirit. Thus, the aspirations of many adherents to scientism that eventually humans will be evolve into a transcendent mind that is disembodied that uses the universe as its sole playground for shaping to its will is misguided from both a biological point of view and ethical point of view. It assumes that humans have more value than anything else in the universe. Midgely questions this ethic as do I. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
