The Science Delusion: Freeing the Spirit of Enquiry by Rupert Sheldrake

5.0

Rupert Sheldrake is a whistle blower on modern science. An accomplished scientist himself, Rupert reveals the flaws of modern science with its feigned objectivity and superiority of science to other forms of knowledge. Rupert shows how mechanistic science is a failed baseline for a unified view of nature, and persuasively shows how reductionism fails to explain nature. Psychic phenomena and alternative medicine are treated as heresies instead of valid areas for rational enquiry, and the default belief of mechanistic science stunts our progress in understanding nature. The most interesting chapters of this book are chapters 7 and 8 which explores the mystery of how memories are stored (hint: not as traces in the brain) and how the mind is not confined to the brain.
