The Road to Wisdom
Book • 2024
In 'The Road to Wisdom,' Francis Collins reminds us of the four core sources of judgment and clear thinking: truth, science, faith, and trust.
Drawing on his work from the Human Genome Project and his tenure as the director of the National Institutes of Health, as well as on ethics, philosophy, and Christian theology, Collins makes a robust case for each of these sources—their reliability and their limits.
He shows how these foundations of wisdom work together, not separately, and certainly not in conflict.
The book provides a moral, philosophical, and scientific framework to address contemporary issues such as distrust of public health, partisanship, racism, climate change, and threats to democracy, while also guiding readers in their daily lives.
