Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit Invited Speaker Series, 2011/12

Abstract
The science delusion is the belief that science already understands the nature of reality in principle, leaving only the details to be filled in. Modern science is based on ten fundamental assumptions that have hardened into dogmas. Rupert Sheldrake argues that when these dogmas are turned into questions, in the spirit of scientific scepticism, many new lines of scientific enquiry become possible. Questions include: “Is the mind confined to the brain?” and “Is the total amount of matter and energy always the same?”

Biography
Dr Rupert Sheldrake is a biologist and author of over 80 papers and several books, including “The Science Delusion”, to be published in January 2012. His web site is http://www.sheldrake.org
