The Paradox Of Science

The Paradox of Science by William Walker Atkinson is a thought-provoking book that explores the paradoxical nature of science. Atkinson argues that science, while being a powerful tool for understanding the world around us, is also limited by its own assumptions and biases. He explores the ways in which science can both illuminate and obscure our understanding of reality, and how it can be used to both empower and oppress individuals and societies.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the paradox of science. Atkinson begins by examining the ways in which science has been used to justify oppressive social hierarchies, such as racism and sexism. He then goes on to explore the limitations of scientific knowledge, arguing that our understanding of reality is always provisional and subject to revision.Atkinson also discusses the role of intuition and imagination in scientific discovery, and the ways in which these faculties are often suppressed or ignored in traditional scientific practice. He argues that a more holistic approach to science, one that integrates intuition and imagination with empirical observation, is necessary for a truly comprehensive understanding of the world.Throughout the book, Atkinson draws on examples from history and contemporary society to illustrate his points. He also provides practical advice for scientists and non-scientists alike, offering suggestions for how we can navigate the paradoxes of science in our everyday lives.Overall, The Paradox of Science is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges readers to think critically about the nature of scientific knowledge and its role in shaping our understanding of the world.THIS 20 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Dynamic Thought or the Law of Vibrant Energy, by William Walker Atkinson.
