{"product_id":"9780981301525","title":"DELUSIONS - Pragmatic Realism","description":"The book, the author writes, is: \"Dedicated to Richard Dawkins, in gratitude for many hours of enjoyable reading. While he and I don't always see eye to eye, the doctor might find, here, additional arguments for his Cause Célèbre.\" \u003cp\u003eThe author goes on to advance compelling arguments regarding Delusions ingrained and perpetrated by both, the religious and the scientific communities. He concludes that science\/religion argument is equally as deluded on both sides of the equation, particularly when advanced from the preeminently fundamentalist point of view. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith frequent sprinkling of humor and considerable intellectual prowess, Stanislaw Kapuscinski exposes DELUSIONS masquerading under the guise of science and religion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 Star Reviews (on Smashwords) include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaving read God Delusion, I'm so glad that Stanislaw Kapuscinski took it upon himself to extend the 'Delusions' to the field of science. Pragmatic Realism seems well suited to the task of balancing the odds. The book shows, clearly, the folly of one-sided view of reality. It also evident that those who criticize the most, have most to learn. (Jo Steinman)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI love the idea of being mostly empty space. Perhaps we are just bundles of emotions, held in a gentle yoke of mental discipline. Now this would be neither religion nor science. It just would be a wonderful way to live, to experience reality.\u003cbr\u003eI am reminded of a poem by William Blake:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow do you know but every bird that wings the airy way,\u003cbr\u003eIs an enormous world of delight,\u003cbr\u003eclosed to your senses five?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf birds can do it, why shouldn't we?
