Publisher's Synopsis
According to the author of this book, the sciences are rooted in superstition and dogma - conditioning people to believe that the universe is nothing but a series of machines. Modern scientists view the world from specialist points of view, rather than from environmental and global perspectives. They ask only how things work, rarely why. They consider the observed facts, but never the relationship between them or the importance of causes and consequences. Arnold demonstrates how and why the sciences are corrupt and debunks many of their myths and pretensions. He shows how education can be turned from an art into a science, proving along the way that the search for artificial intelligence is an unrealizable goal.
