This book examines how science comes to be used as a substitute for religion and points out how badly that role distorts it. Her argument is flawlessly insightful: a punch, compelling, lively indictment of these misuses of science. Both the book and its author are true classics of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMary Midgley\u003c\/strong\u003e (1919-2018) was one of the most renowned moral philosophers of her generation and the author of many books, including \u003cem\u003eBeast and Man\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWickedness\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Myths We Live By\u003c\/em\u003e.
