Science and Myth: The Hidden Connection

This essay has two main aims: the first is to expose the mythic basis of modern science. In particular, the author discusses  three great scientific myths, generally called “paradigms”, namely the Newtonian, the Darwinian, and the Copernican. The second goal is to contrast the myths of modern Western science with the myths of Tradition. The author expresses the conviction that this discernment is much more relevant now than ever, because it affects our destiny in a vital way, here and in the hereafter.
