Inhaltsangabe

In this book, Samuel Eugene Stevens explores the relations between science and superstition, especially as they manifest in the myths, beliefs, and practices of diverse cultures throughout history. Stevens draws from a wide range of disciplines, from anthropology to physics, to challenge common assumptions about the opposition of reason and faith. Instead, he argues that both science and superstition share common roots and goals, namely to explain and control the natural phenomena and to provide meaning and purpose for human life. This book is a fascinating and provocative contribution to the philosophy of science and religion.
