Rupert Sheldrake: the 'heretic' at odds with scientific dogma

<<...he suggests, scientists are prone to "the recurrent fantasy of
omniscience". The science delusion, in these terms, consists in the
faith that we already understand the nature of reality, in principle,
and that all that is left to do is to fill in the details. "In this
book, I am just trying to blow the whistle on that attitude which I
think is bad for science," he says. In America, the book is called
Science Set Free, which he thinks is probably a better title. "They
were aware that if they called it The Science Delusion it would be
seen as a rightwing tract that was anti-evolution and anti-climate
change. And I want no part of that.">>
