Description

From superstition to science―an inspiring call to reclaim reason and the spirit of inquiry.

From Myths to Science by Gauhar Raza is a powerful exploration of humanity’s journey from inherited myths to rational thought, from blind faith to scientific inquiry. With clarity and conviction, Raza examines how societies construct myths, how superstition and dogma take root, and why the cultivation of a scientific temper is essential for democracy, social progress, and human dignity.
