Most people appreciate science on an obvious level. Modern medicine electric lighting rapid transportation and longdistance communication are among the many benefits of science that have made life today healthier and more comfortable than people in earlier eras could have imagined.This book is about a deeper benefit of science one that while less obvious may prove to be far more important in the long run namely the ability to look beyond our preconceptions and see the world and ourselves in a truer light. Author Dennis R. Trumble makes a compelling case that now more than ever the public at large needs to appreciate the criticalthinking tools that science has to offer and be educated in basic science literacy. Trumble emphasizes that the methods and facts of science are accessible to everyone and that contrary to popular belief understanding science does not require extraordinary intelligence.He also notes that scientific rationality and critical thinking are not only good for our physical wellbeing but also are fully in sync with our highest moral codes. He illustrates the many ways in which the scientific worldview offers a profound sense of wonder connectedness and optimism about the human condition an inspiring perspective that satisfies ageold spiritual aspirations.At a time of daunting environmental challenges and rampant misinformation The Way of Science provides a welcome corrective and reason to hope for the future.
