{"product_id":"9781939681584","title":"Arguing Science: A Dialogue on the Future of Science and Spirit","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo controversial authors debate the nature and methods of science, its dogmas, and its future. Rupert Sheldrake argues that science needs to free itself from materialist dogma while Michael Shermer contends that science, properly conceived, is a materialistic enterprise; for science to look beyond materialist explanations is to betray science and engage in superstition. Issues discussed include: materialism and its role in science, whether belief in God is compatible with a scientific perspective, and parapsychology. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Shermer \u003c\/b\u003eis Editor-in-Chief of \u003ci\u003eSkeptic \u003c\/i\u003emagazine and the author of numerous books including \u003ci\u003eSkeptic\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRupert Sheldrake \u003c\/b\u003eis a biologist and author of ten books including his most recent, \u003ci\u003eScience Set Free\u003c\/i\u003e, which challenges scientific dogma.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monkfish Book Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47151712403696,"sku":"9781939681584","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781939681584_p0.jpg?v=1763666088","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781939681584","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
