The Limits of Reason
John Gray argues that science itself teaches the limits of scientific knowledge.
John Gray on how former British Prime Minister, Arthur Balfour, identified a weakness in the idea that science and faith are opposites.
"Beyond our narrow corner of things, there may be limitless possibilities, or else primordial chaos," he writes. "Our belief in the uniformity of nature is not a result but a presupposition of science - in other words, an act of faith."
