About the Author
Roger Trigg is a distinguished philosopher and emeritus professor of philosophy at the University of Warwick, where he spent much of his career exploring the intersections of science, religion, and metaphysics. With a keen interest in the limits of empirical inquiry, Trigg has long argued for the indispensable role of philosophical reasoning in understanding reality beyond the physical realm. His work challenges the dominance of scientism, advocating for a balanced approach that integrates metaphysical insights with scientific discovery. In Beyond Matter: Why Science Needs Metaphysics, Trigg eloquently defends the necessity of metaphysics as a foundation for robust scientific progress, drawing on historical and contemporary examples to illustrate how neglecting deeper questions undermines intellectual rigor. A prolific author and editor, Trigg's contributions continue to influence debates in philosophy of science and epistemology.
