Contemporary British philosopher. Argues that, while valid in its own terms, the [ScientificMethod] is reductionist in the capacity of a worldview, a possibly otiose and redundant comment which conflicts with [KarlPopper]'s description of science. Although she believes that the doctrines of Christianity are impossible for an educated and decent person to believe she notes that "People naturally inclined to find purposes in things. If these impulses are not brought together and disciplined, you get something even worse than organised religion."
