Beschreibung
The anthology is intended for a broader audience and aims to contribute to the popularization of critical thinking and a scientific approach. It contains fifteen contributions analyzing various controversial professional or social topics. It addresses the causes and nature of anti-scientific attitudes, misconceptions about paranormal phenomena and abilities, distrust in scientific medicine, myths about the harmfulness of vaccination or the causes of autism, irrational attitudes towards homosexuality, unfounded fears of electromagnetic radiation, and other issues. The reader will also learn about interesting developments in the scientific method in medicine, biology, astronomy, and mathematics. However, no 'final truths' are proclaimed here; if the anthology provokes doubts and discussions, then it has fulfilled its purpose.
