Science Set Free: Dispelling Dogmas & Opening New Frontiers Workshop

Many scientists believe that science already understands the nature of reality, in principle. The fundamental questions are answered, leaving only the details to be filled in. The impressive achievements of science seem to support this confident attitude. But recent research has revealed unexpected problems at the heart of physics, cosmology, biology, medicine, and psychology. In his new book, launched at this event, Rupert Sheldrake shows how the sciences are being constricted by assumptions that have hardened into dogmas. Should science be a belief system, or a method of inquiry? Science Set Free will radically change your view of what is possible.

This is the national book launch for Rupert Sheldrake's ground breaking new work Science Set Free: 10 Paths to New Discovery.
