Evolution as a Religion by Mary Midgley
According to The Guardian, Midgley is 'the foremost scourge of scientific pretentions in this country; someone whose wit is admired even by those who fee she sometimes oversteps the mark'. This book examines how science comes to be used as a substitute for religion and points out how badly that role distorts it. Her argument is flawlessly insightful: a punch, compelling, lively indictment of these misuses of science. Both the book and its author are true classics of our time.`.. a graceful, refreshing and enlightening book, applied philosophy that is relevant, timely and metaphysical in the best sense' - New York Times Book Review
