how irrationality created modern science

Summary

A paradigm-shifting work that revolutionizes our understanding of the origins and structure of science. Michael Strevens's wholly original investigation of science asks two fundamental questions: Why is science so powerful? And why did it take so long, two thousand years after the invention of philosophy and mathematics, for the human race to start using science to learn the secrets of nature?
