The spirit today is myth and myth is the spirit. Today is not a day that will one day be yesterday, but today is the day in which we live now, and we are live today, not extinct. World as mythology reveals its innermost secrets, and this is in fact the use of mythology, that it leads us, gently and persuasively, to the heart of that realm where everything that is wanted may be gained merely by asking for it. Also it teaches us how to ask, so that we do not waste time and energy asking for wind when we want power and asking for flame when we want warmth or heat. Far too many of us have made up our minds as to the means to happiness and we ask for those means instead of asking for happiness. So it matters a great deal how we prepare ourselves for the times ahead. The worst scenario is not to love and then not to know we are loved, because then we have no myth as nourishment and none to protect us. Myth nourishes, it repairs, sustains and increases, when we love nonetheless.

In Science and Myth the author shows, in the first place, that science too has its mythology, unrecognized and unacknowledged though the fact be. These scientistic myths, however, turn out to constitute what he terms anti-myths: "a kind that would banish all others, and in so doing, undermine not only religion and morality, but indeed all culture in its higher modes." What invalidates the contemporary "scientific" world-view and renders it "mythical" in the pejorative sense, he goes on to contend, proves finally to be the underlying hypothesis that human perception terminates, not in an external object, but in a subjective phantasm. Not only does the author maintain cogently that visual perception, in particular, does penetrate to the external world, but basing himself on traditional sources-fromVedic to Biblical-he shows that sight as such opens in principle to a veritable gnosis: a "seeing of the Real."

A literary genre that pervades 21st-century popular culture, science fiction creates mythologies that make statements about humanity's place in the universe and embody an intersection of science, religion and philosophy. This book considers the significance of this confluence through an examination of myths in the writings of H. G. Wells, Arthur C. Clarke, Philip K. Dick and Frank Herbert. Presenting fresh insights into their works, the author brings to light the tendency of science fiction narratives to reaffirm spiritual myths.

A falling apple inspired the law of gravity—or so the story goes. Is it true? Perhaps not. But why do such stories endure as explanations of how science happens? Newton’s Apple and Other Myths about Science brushes away popular misconceptions to provide a clearer picture of scientific breakthroughs from ancient times to the present.

We live in an age of trusting the “experts.” But what happens when the so-called experts are wrong…and their misinformation is allowing us to destroy ourselves? In Science Myths We Tell Ourselves, William Barbat demonstrates the incorrect reasoning behind “facts” we have been taught, including the Big Bang, instant creation, continental drift, and spreading sea floors. Skeptics’ assertions that the climate is not changing are disproven by Barbat’s update of his 1973 climate study, which definitively proves that the world’s desert belts are expanding poleward, like the expansion of the Sahara Desert of North Africa, which ended the Ice Age. The recent drought in the midcontinental US, and the pervasive droughts in California and Brazil may be previews of climate disasters brought on by mankind, unless we can halt climate change by rethinking our energy protocols. We’ve been told that energy cannot be created in nature, or by man…but the stunning central thesis of Science Myths We Tell Ourselves is that the “law” on which this belief is based (Helmholtz’s Energy Conservation Law) is completely untrue—in fact, it was rejected as “metaphysics” in 1847 by the Berlin Physics Society. Scientists unwilling to examine the facts continue to propagate this misinformation while ignoring the potential for unlimited, non-polluting energy from low-mass electrons. This enlightening and fascinating book will challenge what you think you know, as well as providing hope and direction for a different future.

Mary Midgley is one of the most important moral philosophers working today. Over the last thirty years, her writings have informed debates concerning animals, the environment and evolutionary theory. The invited essays in this volume offer critical reflections upon Midgley’s work and further developments of her ideas. The contributors include many of the leading commentators on her work, including distinguished figures from the disciplines of philosophy, biology, and ethology. The range of topics includes the moral status of animals, the concept of wickedness, science and mythology, Midgley’s relationship to modern moral philosophy, and her relationship with Iris Murdoch. It also includes the first full bibliography of Midgley’s writings. The volume is the first major study of its kind and brings together contributions from the many disciplines which Midgley’s work has influenced. It provides a clear account of the themes and significance of her work and its implications for ongoing debates about our understanding of our place within the world.
