In her most profound work, Sayers investigates the nature of God and creativity From the first pages of Genesis, it is clear that God and man share one vital trait: the ability to create great works out of nothing.

In it, he challenged long-standing assumptions about scientific progress, arguing that transformative ideas don't arise from the gradual process of experimentation and data accumulation, but instead occur outside of "normal science." Though Kuhn was writing when physics ruled the sciences,...

"Far from being a lifeless ornament in the sky, the Moon holds the answers to some of science's central questions. Silent, dry, and barren, Earth's 4.34-billion-year-old companion is essential to life on earth. Its gravity stabilized the Earth's orbit, and, as it once guided evolution, its tide stirring up nutrients that fostered complex life, it now influences everything from animal migrations and reproduction to the movements of plants' leaves....

"It's unnerving, isn't it? When our faith feels ungrounded, untethered . . . unreal. When our certainty is adrift, as though an undercurrent has pulled us away from shore into the deep, into the darkness. This is disillusionment. This is spiritual pain. And if this is you, please know that you are not alone. (And you are not as far away from safety as you may feel or fear.) Though faith shines best in full sun, it grows depth in the dark. The night...

El imperativo de autorrealización convierte a cada ciudadano en publicista de sí mismo. Las buenas acciones se truecan por exhibicionismo y golpes de efecto. No hay más bien que un tropel de bienes al peso, utilizados para halagar la buena conciencia de los consumidores.
La banalidad del bien pone énfasis en la palabra y trivializa la acción. El coraje cede su puesto a la molicie y el amor propio al autodesprecio. Los valores mercuriales del...
