False Science (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162855912)

False Science is a collection of essays written by the acclaimed Russian author Leo Tolstoy, in which he criticizes the scientific establishment of his time. Tolstoy argues that science has become too focused on materialism and has lost sight of its original purpose, which was to seek truth and understanding about the world. He claims that scientists have become arrogant and closed-minded, refusing to consider alternative perspectives or acknowledge the limitations of their own knowledge. Tolstoy also takes issue with the way that science has been co-opted by the ruling class to justify their own power and control over the masses. Through his essays, Tolstoy makes a passionate case for a more humble and open-minded approach to science, one that is guided by a genuine desire for knowledge and understanding rather than by political or economic interests. Overall, False Science is a thought-provoking and challenging critique of the scientific establishment that remains relevant to this day.THIS 28 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Pathway of Life: Teaching Love and Wisdom, by Leo Tolstoy.
