Focusing on the concept of "Scientific Fictions," this work explores how certain thought processes are deliberately constructed to navigate complex realities. The author argues that these constructs, which often contradict reality or themselves, serve as tools for overcoming cognitive challenges. This examination of self-deception highlights the intricate relationship between thought and perception, making it a significant contribution to social science and philosophy. The book sheds light on the human tendency to create false assumptions to achieve understanding.
