I think you are taking a very narrow interpretation of what Krauss is saying. Nowhere in his essay does he talk about that we should not be teaching religion, art, music, literature and that they don't have value.
Remember that he is replying to an initiative to bring Maori perspectives (mysticism) into science classes as an equally valid system to explain the physical world, to which he answers the only valid way of explaining the physical world is the scientific process.
- robonerd 5y agoAs I said, I agree with most of what Krauss said. I object mainly to his assertion that empirical knowledge is the only kind of knowledge. Whether you restrict the scope of consideration to physical phenomena or not, he's going too far with that assertion.
