Arguing Science by Rupert Phd Sheldrake
Two controversial authors debate the nature and methods of science, its dogmas, and its future. Rupert Sheldrake argues that science needs to free itself from materialist dogma while Michael Shermer contends that science, properly conceived, is a materialistic enterprise; for science to look beyond materialist explanations is to betray science and engage in superstition. Issues discussed include: materialism and its role in science, whether belief in God is compatible with a scientific perspective, and parapsychology.
Michael Shermer is Editor-in-Chief of Skeptic magazine and the author of numerous books including Skeptic.
Rupert Sheldrake is a biologist and author of ten books including his most recent, Science Set Free, which challenges scientific dogma.
Michael Shermer is the Director of The Skeptics Society and the Founder Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of Skeptic magazine (www.skeptic.com). He is a Visiting Associate at California Institute of Technology, where he also hosts the Skeptics Lecture Series. He has written a number of popular books on science, science history, and science philosophy and history.
