Sagan dissects pseudoscience from science, and
fosters methods to teach readers to do the same when they encounter new ideas.
He encourages approaching potential concepts for consideration with both
critical and sceptical thinking in order to discern their validity, whether it
concerns anything from witchcraft to magic; aliens to the moon landing.
“The Demon-Haunted World: Science As A Candle In The
Dark” is aimed at the general public, who might not have any idea of the process
of the scientific method. Sagan sets these principles out with clear analogies
and examples to further the reader’s understanding.
