About this listen
The world hasn’t met with destruction on any of the long list of predicted doomsday dates, but the possibility may have got you thinking: has science created more problems than it has solved? What is the point of science at all?
Geoffrey Gorham considers these questions and explores the social and ethical implications of science by linking them to issues facing scientists today: human extinction, extraterrestrial intelligence, space colonisation and more.

What the critics say
"An excellent and well-written contribution... which serves as a good example that clear and rigorous writing needn't always be overly dry." (The Review of Metaphysics)
”Lively, accessible and clear-headed. Good for the beginning student and for anyone wishing (for) guidance on how to start thinking philosophically about science.” (Helen Longino – Clarence Irving Lewis Professor of Philosophy at Stanford University)
