Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

This is a brilliant expose of the misanthropy, irrationality, and innumeracy that characterizes much of current debate on issues such as GM crops, vivisection, the regulation of science, and the appropriate response to global warming. It shows how suspicion of science - humankind's greatest collective achievement - is rooted in human self-hatred. What the book lacks in length, it makes up for in importance."

Reseña del editor:

Where will humanity end up? Announcing the publication of the most important critical thinking in the conflict between science and the return to the false notion of traditional thinking. If the attack on science continues it will endanger the very foundations of the social economic and cultural success of the past three centuries, and the enemies of the future will be those people who have given up on the very principles on which the enlightenment is founded, preferring mysticism to rationality, ideology to evidence and superstition to science. In a collection of essays, Science vs Superstition, challenges the common belief that in todays world there is no such thing as progress which is not dangerous, or at least questionable. While many people seem to have lost the vision of a better tomorrow, the authors of Science vs Superstition believe that it is time to make the case for a more positive attitude towards the future - a future that is made brighter through science.
