Magic of reality how we know the truth of the reality

Author's name: Richard Dawkins Publisher: Dar Al Tanweer for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2013 Literary classification: Philosophy and Thought Brief about the book: How do we know the truth of reality? The question around which the book "The Magic of Reality" by the British Richard Dawkins, a developmental biologist whose works have been translated into many languages due to their importance, revolves. The book raises many questions, including: Is reality only the thing we perceive with our senses? But what about a distant galaxy, so far away that it is impossible for us to see it with the naked eye? What about a type of bacteria, small in size, that cannot be seen without a strong microscope? And what about other things our eyes cannot detect, or those that happened in ancient times? What does science say about the evolution of the human mind that created this great civilization? The author says in the introduction of his book: "In the following of this book, I want to show you that the real world, according to scientific understanding, possesses a magic that comes from within it, which I call poetic magic: the inspiring beauty (with a broken H) that is all increasing magic because it is real magic, and we can understand how it works. Alongside the true beauty and magic of the real world, the spells and tricks performed in shows seem cheap and trivial in comparison." In other words, this book goes beyond the world of miracles, magic, and legends to talk about the most magical truth, which is science that came after legends, because the truth is more magical in the best and most exciting sense of the word than any myth, puzzle, or miracle. Science is its own magic: it is "the magic of reality."
