Life on Other Worlds the 20Th-Century Extraterrestrial Life Debate
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Cambridge Univ Pr
- Publish date: 03/01/2001
Lucid and accessible, Life on Other Worlds chronicles the history of the twentieth-century extraterrestrial debate. Putting the latest findings and heated controversies into a broader historical context, Steven Dick documents how the concept of extraterrestrial intelligence is a world view of its own -- a "biophysical cosmology" that seeks confirmation no less than physical views of the Universe.
The debate rests at the very limits of science, and attempts at confirmation only illuminate the nature of science itself. Dick shows that appreciating the history of the debate enables a better understanding of the nature of science, and is central to any forward-looking view of religion and philosophy. For anyone interested in a look over the edge of scientific discovery, Life on Other Worlds provides the exciting tale behind the greatest debate in the twentieth century.
