Science and the Unseen World - Hardcover

by A. S. Eddington (Author)

Science and the Unseen World is a book written by Arthur Stanley Eddington, a British astrophysicist and philosopher. The book explores the relationship between science and the spiritual world, arguing that science and spirituality are not mutually exclusive but rather complementary. Eddington delves into the mysteries of the universe and explores the limits of scientific knowledge, discussing topics such as the nature of reality, the role of consciousness in the universe, and the possibility of life beyond our physical world. He draws upon scientific theories and philosophical concepts to present a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the unseen world. The book is a classic work of science and philosophy, and is recommended for anyone interested in exploring the boundaries of human knowledge and understanding.1929. Swarthmore Lecture.
