Book Description
Why are poetry and science at odds? Mary Midgley, well-known moral philosopher, explores this and other compelling questions in Science and Poetry. She explores key questions such as the hunt for a disembodied consciousness and why we are obsessed with it, why "memes" hold such a grip on contemporary culture, and what debates over the Gaia hypothesis mean for the state of contemporary science.
Review
'Clearly and forcefully argued ... no reflective person could disagree with Midgley's view. By bringing some of the more important detail of the arguments into focus and quoting so appositely from the poets whose visions of the world enrich our understanding of it, she performs a service.' - A C Grayling, Literary Review
'With this book Midgley establishes herself as the most cool, coherent and sane critic of contemporary superstition that we have.' - Brian Appleyard, The Sunday Times
