Part Two: Science as a candle to light up the dark Part One: The reasons for the emergence and prevalence of pseudoscience

Next, we will discuss the contents of the book in three parts. The book also discusses the relationship between science and human society and explains the importance of promoting scientific literacy for the public, with profound and thought-provoking content that guides society in the direction of progress. In the book, Sagan analyzes alien abductions and other pseudo-scientific phenomena from various angles, revealing the danger of the allure of pseudoscience and teaching us how to look at things with skepticism and seek proof. This book was written by Sagan in the last two years of his life and is a masterpiece of Sagan's science thinking. Isaac Asimov, the famous American science fiction writer, once stated that Sagan was the most successful person in all of history to popularize science. He spared no effort in spreading the spirit of science and scientific thinking to the public by opening a window for the general public to understand the scientific world. He believed that science was not only a body of knowledge but also a way of thinking. Sagan believed that in a world darkened by the demons of pseudoscience and superstition, science is the candle that lights up the dark. Sagan believed that pseudoscience and superstition have infiltrated all aspects of human life, and if people do not discriminate between the various claims, then the whole society will fall into gullibility, ignorance and darkness. He made great achievements in popularizing science, and science fiction, such as the classic 1997 movie Contact, which is based on his novel of the same name. Sagan was dedicated to scientific research and had a passion for popular science. The author of this book is Carl Sagan, a famous American astronomer, popular science writer and science fiction author. In this fog of uncertainty, how can we distinguish the true from the false and avoid falling into the trap of pseudoscience and superstition? This book seeks to give us the answer. In places out of science’s reach, pseudoscience and superstition seep in to take advantage, creating a confusing and complex situation. Are there aliens in the world? Do people have souls after death? Is there life on Mars? The universe is vast and human knowledge is limited. There are many legends and unsolved mysteries in human society. Today we will unlock the book The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, by Carl Sagan.
