The science delusion
Book • 1766
In 'The Science Delusion', Rupert Sheldrake argues that the current scientific paradigm is based on assumptions that have become dogmatic and limit the scope of scientific inquiry.
He challenges ten fundamental dogmas of materialism, such as the belief that all reality is physical, the world is a machine made of dead matter, and consciousness is purely a product of brain activity.
Sheldrake proposes that these assumptions should be treated as questions rather than facts and suggests alternative theories, including his concept of 'morphic resonance'.
The book aims to open up new possibilities for scientific inquiry and to encourage a more skeptical and enquiring approach to science.
