Scientific nonsense
19.99 €
To define our worldview and make informed decisions that impact our lives, we need, among other things, to formulate our attitude toward expert opinions and the results of scientific research. "Scientists are lying and hiding everything," or "scientists have proven it, so it must be so"? Between these two extremes lies a vast field of ambiguity, and Stuart Ritchie's book helps us navigate it and find our own position. Using astonishing examples, Ritchie describes systemic problems in the public dissemination of scientific work and the structure of scientific activity itself, prompting us to critically rethink everything we've read, watched, and heard about science to date. However, this doesn't deprive us of hope for progress—on the contrary, we learn a great deal about what is being done and what more can be done to strengthen trust in the work of scientists on more reliable and sustainable foundations.
