Is Science Superstitious?

""Is Science Superstitious?"" is a collection of essays written by the renowned philosopher and mathematician, Bertrand Russell. The book explores the question of whether or not science is a form of superstition. Russell argues that while science is not immune to errors and biases, it is fundamentally different from superstition in that it relies on empirical evidence and rational inquiry. The essays cover a range of topics, including the history of science, the role of intuition in scientific discovery, and the relationship between science and religion. Russell also addresses common misconceptions about science, such as the idea that it is purely objective and value-free. Throughout the book, Russell emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and skepticism in scientific inquiry. He argues that scientists must be willing to question their own assumptions and beliefs in order to avoid falling into the trap of superstition. Overall, ""Is Science Superstitious?"" offers a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the nature of science and its relationship to other forms of knowledge. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the philosophy of science or the history of ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
