This is a very important book that has the potential to become a classic text . . . Being aware of the Blind Spot is a necessary step toward reinscribing human experience back into science’s core.”
—Science
“This is by far the best book I've read this year.”
—Michael Pollan, Professor of the Practice of Non-fiction, Harvard University; #1 New York Times bestselling author
“(A) stimulating manifesto for changing the way we look at things.”
—Wall Street Journal
“The Blind Spot makes a rich and complex philosophical argument, but it also has major practical implications, both for how we should do science and for how it should be presented to the public.”
—Times Higher Education
“Breathtaking . . . The discussion is so clear, well-paced, and witty that I’d be tempted to describe it as a breezy read if that didn’t risk coming across as a slight. Nonscientists will appreciate sparklingly clear accounts of seemingly forbidding concepts . . . The Blind Spot uses philosophical arguments to resolve scientific puzzles that threaten the integrity of science itself. We philosophers have long dreamed of finding a way to demonstrate the interdependence of the sciences and the humanities. Well, here it is.”
—Los Angeles Review of Books
“I recommend this book heartily. It puts its finger on the most fundamental philosophical questions and articulates a powerful, unified diagnosis of a remarkable cluster of current scientific problems. It challenges authority and orthodoxy in the best way. You may not initially agree with the authors, but once you see the Blind Spot, you cannot look away.”
—Nature Physics
