Blind Spots in Understanding
This chapter explores the notion of 'blindspots' in perception and cognition, discussing how our assumptions can distort reality, particularly in science. It emphasizes the importance of acknowledging these blind spots to understand the interplay between subjective experience and objective scientific inquiry. Through historical context, personal experiences, and philosophical reflections, the chapter critiques the separation of human experience from scientific abstractions, advocating for a more integrated approach to knowledge.
