      The book delves into the virtues inherent in the scientific mindset, such as curiosity, veracity, and humility, highlighting their significance for scientific integrity, democracy, and human well-being. Robert Pennock argues that the pursuit of truth, as emphasized by Charles Darwin, possesses a moral dimension that extends beyond science, especially vital in today's "post-truth" era. By examining how exemplary scientists perceive their work, the author underscores the broader implications of a truth-seeking approach for society at large.
