About this listen

Can science truly explain everything? Or are some of its deepest assumptions rarely examined? In The Science Spell, Chris Spark does not reject science. He puts it in context. He pushes its critical thinking further than most scientists do. He looks under logs our most respected authorities often ignore.

Drawing from physics, psychology, the culture of scientific institutions, philosophy, anthropology, and Eastern wisdom, Spark examines what science illuminates — and what it quietly avoids. He explores the social and psychological forces that shape consensus, questions the assumption that a purely material universe is the only intellectually honest position, and invites listeners to reconsider the boundary between the natural and the supernatural. This audiobook explores a paradox: The idea of a universe devoid of magic may itself be a kind of spell.
