Description

In The Blind Spot, astrophysicist Adam Frank, theoretical physicist Marcelo Gleiser, and philosopher Evan Thompson argue for a revolutionary vision of the scientific world, one that includes humanity's lived experience as an inescapable part of our search for objective truth. Since the Enlightenment, science has been turned to knowing who we are, where we came from, and where we are going, but we have been stuck thinking that we can know the universe from outside our position in it. When we try to understand reality only through external physical things, imagined from this external position, we lose sight of the need for experience. This is the blind spot that, according to the authors, lies behind our scientific enigmas about time and the origin of the universe, quantum physics, life, artificial intelligence, mind, consciousness, and the Earth as a planetary system. The authors propose an alternative vision: scientific knowledge as a self-correcting narrative made from the world and our experience of it.
