Knowledge and ignorance : essays on lights and shadows /
The author explores the limits of science as causes of ignorance. Some topics in the essays are problems with our ways of "knowing" and the impact of emotion on objectivity. The lines of thought are applied to evolution as creation and history, and to questions of truth and faith.
