Knowledge and Science

In this episode of the BBC science podcast 'The Infinite Monkey Cage' a panel including Brian Cox, Stephen Fry and Eric Idle discuss the nature of knowledge and whether science is the true path to achieving it.

I thought Stephen Fry made a very interesting point when he described reason as "superstition". He described his view that there is a marked difference between reason and empiricism, and of the two we should put our faith in empiricism.
