Science and Poetry is a much needed and clear investigation of why and how science has so powerfully shaped the way we understand ourselves, our behavior towards others and our place in the world.
Why are poetry and science at odds? Mary Midgley, well-known moral philosopher, explores this and other compelling questions in Science and Poetry. She explores key questions such as the hunt for a disembodied consciousness and why we are obsessed with it, why "memes" hold such a grip on contemporary culture, and what debates over the Gaia hypothesis mean for the state of contemporary science.
