Setting Science Free from Materialism

Modern Western Science is based on the claim that all reality is material or physical. There is no reality but material reality. Consciousness is a by-product of the physical activity of the brain. Matter is unconscious. Evolution is purposeless. This reductionisctic view is now undergoing a credibility crunch. The biggest problem of all for materialism is the existence of consciousness. Panpsychism provides a way forward. So does the recognition that minds are not confined to brains. By freeing the science from the ideology of materialism, new opportunities for debate and dialog with other sciences of natur open up, and so do new possibilities for research.
