Such dogmas are not only limiting, but dangerous for the future of humanity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAccording to these principles, all of reality is material or physical; the world is a machine, made up of inanimate matter; nature is purposeless; consciousness is nothing but the physical activity of the brain; free will is an illusion; God exists only as an idea in human minds, imprisoned within our skulls. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBut should science be a belief-system, or a method of enquiry? Sheldrake shows that the materialist ideology is moribund; under its sway, increasingly expensive research is reaping diminishing returns while societies around the world are paying the price. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn the skeptical spirit of true science, Sheldrake turns the ten fundamental dogmas of materialism into exciting questions, and shows how all of them open up startling new possibilities for discovery.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScience Set Free\u003c\/i\u003e will radically change your view of what is real and what is possible.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":50147539976496,"sku":"BDax0b","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/ax0b-cover.jpg?v=1758141844","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-ax0b","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
