Synopsis "The Surfer and the Sea Lion: A Conversation About Being (in English)"
James N. Weiss, who has spent his career as a physician and scientist, considers big scientific questions in a fanciful format in The Surfer and the Sea Lion. The story is told through a Socratic dialogue between a sea lion named Socrates, representing the spirit of nature, and a surfer named Moses, representing the spirit of humanity. The two consider what science can and can't tell us about nature, life, and humanity. They consider questions such as: - What is science capable of telling us about the reality of the world we live in? - Does science merely create empirical models of reality that are useful, or does it reveal deeper truths about the nature of reality? - Does science necessarily conflict with religion, or can they be synergistically reconciled to teach us how to live better lives? - What do evolutionary biology and early human history tell us about the prospects for humanity achieving harmony on a global scale and avoiding irreversible damage to the biosphere? If you want to tackle big questions in a fun, interactive format, then let the journey begin!
