Cutting Measurement Down to Size: Professor Raymond Tallis
Показать описание
Cutting Measurement Down to Size: | Professor Raymond Tallis | Tuesday 7th May 2024, Queen Square, Bath.
At the heart of all sciences is measurement – the reduction of the answer to the question ‘What is out there?’ to ‘How much is out there?’.
This talk, which is a critique not of science but of scientism, will look critically at the belief that measurement will lead to a Theory of Everything and that the truest portrait of the world is mathematical.
Professor Raymond Tallis, philosopher, poet & author
