Is Nature mechanical? -- Is the total amount of matter and energy always the same? -- Are the laws of nature fixed? -- Is matter unconscious? -- Is nature purposeless? -- Is all biological inheritance material? -- Are memories stored as material traces? -- Are minds confined to brains? -- Are psychic phenomena illusory? -- Is mechanistic medicine the only kind that really works? -- Illusions of objectivity -- Scientific futures.
