I read the book, started discussing it, and plan to read it again. Science is neither a philosophy nor a belief system. It is a combination of mental operations that has become increasingly the habit of educated peoples, a culture of illuminations hit upon by a fortunate turn of history that yielded the most effective way of learning about the real world ever conceived.

I do not have the book and I will probably not be able to read it and discuss it before the end of the August. Unfortunately, I have all kind of other books piled up that I have planned to read even before I found booktalk. Hopefully, I will catch up with booktalk schedule at some time in the future and will be able to participate in some of the following book discussions.
