Biology As Ideology: The Doctrine Of DNA

Back of the book:

Prominent Harvard geneticist R. C. Lewontin believes we have placed science on a pedestal, treating it as an objective body of knowledge that transcends all other ways of knowing and all other endeavours. In Biology as Ideology, Lewontin examines the false paths down which modern scientific ideology has led us. By admitting science’s limitations, he helps us rediscover the richness of nature and the real value of science.

I’m curious to see how Flutherites, in their [generally] scientific, cause & effect, natural selection, etc… world views are effected by this book. If you haven’t read it, please do, but I warn you, it will change your entire perspective on science if you are a firm scientist.
