摘要

This article presents a short summary of The Blind Spot: Why Science Cannot Ignore Human Experience by Adam Frank, Marcelo Gleiser, and Evan Thompson (Frank et al., 2024). We argue that the inability to see that lived experience is the ineliminable source of scientific knowledge and practice is a blind spot in our present scientific culture. We diagnose the philosophical and historical causes of the blind spot, and chart its manifestations across cosmology, quantum physics, biology, cognitive science, the neuroscience of consciousness, and Earth system science. This précis describes the book’s main philosophical ideas.
