It's tempting to think that science gives us a God's-eye view of reality. But we neglect the place of human experience at our peril. Astrophysicist Adam Frank, theoretical physicist Marcelo Gleiser, and philosopher Evan Thompson propose an alternative vision: scientific knowledge is a self-correcting narrative made from the world and our experience of it evolving together. They urge us to create a new scientific culture that views ourselves both as an expression of nature and as a source of nature's self-understanding, so that humanity can flourish in the new millennium.
