Description:

This is the 2006 Turkish translation of The Demon-Haunted World (Karanlık Bir Dünyada Bilimin Mum Işığı), published by TÜBİTAK Yayınları. The book is written by Carl Sagan, one of the twentieth century’s most influential advocates for science, critical thinking, and public understanding of scientific inquiry.

In The Demon-Haunted World, Sagan examines the widespread appeal of pseudoscience, superstition, conspiracy theories, and paranormal claims, arguing that scientific skepticism is an essential tool for understanding reality. Through numerous examples, he demonstrates how critical thinking, evidence-based reasoning, and the scientific method can help distinguish fact from misinformation. The book addresses topics such as UFOs, alien abductions, astrology, faith healing, and other extraordinary claims while encouraging readers to evaluate evidence carefully. At its core, the work is both a defense of science and a call for intellectual curiosity, skepticism, and rational inquiry.
