Here is a refreshingly direct and sharp critique of the limitations of modern science and the claims of scientism. This valuable book can serve as a true guide for the perplexed, clearing the ground for a rediscovery of sacred science and perennial wisdom."

Backed by its technological achievements, modern science appears as the de facto source of truth for most of our contemporaries. The fact that science relies exclusively on reason and empirical data gives it an air of objectivity that in practice has given it almost indisputable authority. Against the backdrop of this pervasive scientism, The Philosophy of Science in the Light of Ageless Wisdom is a bold attempt to offer an intellectual critique of modern science at its foundations by rigorously examining the intrinsic limits of rational thought and science. empirical research. Unique in its kind, this book offers a refreshing view of the traditional doctrines of epistemology and metaphysics as an antidote to the subjective and objective errors of modern science, which reveals itself to be a mere belief system that radically fails to offer a complete knowledge of reality; and this in contrast to the eternal wisdom of the great religions of the world, which for thousands of years have offered humanity not only the keys to true knowledge, but also the means to achieve that knowledge, which is precisely what constitutes reason. to be of man.
