REVIEWED BY DAVID PRIESS
If you are looking to push humanity beyond persistent divisions of religion, racism, sexism, and nationalism you could do worse than focus on science. The systematic study of nature through careful observation and experimentation has consistently delivered the goods.
The list of the benefits to civilization resulting from the practice of science and its concomitant derivatives in technology is long and uniquely impressive. Consider the printing press, electricity, and semiconductors. Think about Penicillin, DNA, and X-rays. These developments arose not from unquestioning belief or superstition but from objective analysis based on trial, error, and observation.
