My New Book Has Now Hit the Press: Science Unshackled- Restoring Causality to a World in Chaos (277 pages)
The world appears to have lost a capacity to judge truth from falsehood, and even scientists– once the defenders of objective truth and critical thinking– have become increasingly a community of defenders of “consensus”.
While a virulent homogenization of thought contaminates scientific thinking on the one hand, “statistical probability theories” abound which defend notions like “multi-verses”, “randomness as the cause of order” and the denial of any objective truth. Could it be that this confusion in science that permeates all dominant standard models within biology, physics, chemistry and even psychology has something to do with the severing of classical artistic composition, purpose, or beauty from scientific thinking?
In ‘Science Unshackled: Restoring Causality in a World of Chaos‘, I explore these questions with a look towards the philosophical clashes that took place in ancient Athens between the followers of Plato vs the devotees of Aristotle. The two opposing traditions flowing continuously from this clash (sloppy labelled together as “western scientific thought”) are traced across two millennia to our present age.
Where one current posits a living universe of creativity, law and design moving towards ever increasing states of perfectibility, and even assisted in this process by humankind, the other current of thought posits a universe shaped by death, decay and entropy, moving to ever increasing states of disorder, homogeneity.
The political expressions of either system will be explored throughout these chapters as well.
So if you are looking for an original gift this Christmas and you have friends or family who enjoy big ideas, this may be for you.
Looks awesome! Will definitely order soon or put on Christmas list. In regards to the content of the book and other works by Matt and Cynthia, can anyone recommend which works of Plato listed in the appendix to begin with?
