The book “Science in the Soul” by Richard Dawkins, author of “The Selfish Gene”, “The Blind Watchmaker”, and “The God Delusion”, is an anthology of more than forty pieces that showcase the power and glory of science. With stunning and passionate writing, these essays, articles, lectures, and letters make an irrefutable case for the beauty of scientific discovery and its ability to ignite the imagination. It addresses the practical necessity of scientific work for society and the importance of scientific thinking, particularly in the 'post-truth' era.

With an introduction and new comments by the author, the themes range from Darwin’s evolution and natural selection to the scientist’s role as a prophet, the possibility of extraterrestrial life, and the beauties, cruelties, and quirks of life on our planet. Alongside analyses, celebrations, and controversies, there are humorous approaches to satire and parody, as well as moving personal analyses in memory and honor of others.

“Science in the Soul” highlights Professor Dawkins’ extraordinary intelligence, the clarity and precision he brings to every argument, as well as the beauty of his writing and his ability to express deep emotions and joy.
