Mainstream modern science, with its analytical methods and its “objective” teachings, is the dominant force in modern culture. If science simply discovered and taught the truth about reality, who could object?

Thus, crucial aspects of what modern science teaches us are simply shabby philosophy dressed up in a white lab coat.
