THE IMMORTAL IN YOU How Human Nature is More Than Science Can Say by MICHAEL AUGROS
Many scientists and philosophers believe that you are no more than a machine. By their account there is no afterlife and you are no better than any other kind of animal. The existence of mankind, according to such thinkers, is purely the outcome of chance events. The universe is hostile or indifferent toward you, and you occupy no special place within it. At the heart of this story of mankind lies not science but a rarely expressed philosophical assumption that modern science, at least in principle, tells all there is to know about you and the world. With his unique blend of cogency, clarity, and charm the author hauls that assumption out into the light and demolishes it. He demonstrates how an astute use of common sense and a study of common human experience reveal that there is more to you–much more– than science could possibly say. Paper
