The Limits Of Science by Peter B. Medawar
Is Science Limited?
This thought-provoking work delves into the boundaries of scientific inquiry, exploring the inherent limitations of scientific methods and the nature of scientific knowledge. It challenges the notion that science can provide answers to all questions, emphasizing that certain philosophical, ethical, and existential questions lie beyond its reach. Through a series of essays, the author argues that while science is a powerful tool for understanding the natural world, it is not equipped to address every aspect of human experience, urging readers to appreciate the value of other forms of knowledge and inquiry.
