This Idea Must Die by John Brockman
Scientific Theories That Are Blocking Progress
A provocative anthology of short contributions from prominent scientists, philosophers and public intellectuals arguing that certain entrenched concepts should be retired because they hinder progress; each brief essay identifies a widely held assumption across disciplines—from biology and physics to psychology and economics—explains why it no longer serves us, and suggests clearer framings or alternatives to stimulate debate about how science and society might advance if we let go of these cherished ideas.
