The Magic of Reality by Richard Dawkins
Introduction
The ethics of critique is one of the key guiding principles that help in ensuring that there are appropriate investigation of the current application of standards and rules that influence the life of individuals. According to the analysis of the concept, the ethical issue that is always raised involves the fact that there are issues involving being unfair to the others that have been raised concerning the real life perspectives. From this notion, it is also proper to state that ethic of critique tends to challenge the status quo of situations that can be deemed

incorrect among the human beings and their thinking. According to the ways in which the ethics of critique has been presented, they tend to challenge the norms and other social standards that affect the society. According to Richard Dawkins on his book “The Magic of Reality” there are some issues that are related to the ways in which the true self of science and other issues that influence the ways in which the scientific facts have been used in challenging the existing norms in the society.
The Summary of the Reading

According to the author, there are the themes of magic that have been discussed in different perspectives. According to the author, the aspects of magic tend to take many forms. One of the known forms of magic is the supernatural magic which has been implied to explain the ways in which the ancestors offered the explanation to different issues before the coming of the scientific methods that lead to explanation of different issues in life. For example, the initial insinuation was that there existed the goddess nut that was responsible for swallowing of the sun that led to the existence of the night period (Dawkins, 2011). According to the author, there are many supernatural magic that have explained so many things that affect the position of the human beings in the current world. According to the ways in which the elements have been analyzed, the author introduces a different kind of magic. A different kind of magic that attempts to explain the things the way they are and not based on believes of the people. According to the author, this magic was the magic of reality science. Based on such factors, it is possible to imply that this kind of magic tends to give a different explanation of the ways in which things have been positioned in the society.
Based on these characteristics, Darwin who was considered the father of the early biology has embraced the ways in which science may apply in explaining the ways in which the natural phenomena exist. According to the book, the author has adopted the scientific methods of explanation while comparing them to the myths and mythologies that have been used in different aspects. Most chapters of the book have been used in analyzing different forms of issues that have affected the way in which the phenomena such as rainbow and other scientific factors have existed in the current world. The application of the chemistry and biological principles has been used in explaining the ways in which the phenomena exist and their effects felt in the current world. According to the book, mythical elements have been sourced from different points including the different tribes of Nigeria and even the biblical explanations of some issues that exist in the current world (Dawkins, 2011). Based on the book the author basically has an anti- mythological agenda that is meant to disapprove all the relevant issues that tend to explain the current phenomena involved in the human thinking. The myths are moving from the mere explanation of the issues involved in the daily life while science and other biological methods are employed in giving explanation to the issues involved.
The relationship between the book and the ethic of critique
According to the works of the author, there are possible relationships that may exist between the book and other aspects of ethic of critique. Based on its elaboration it can be said that the book tend to take a corrective measure to the possible believes that have existed in the previous times. Additionally, the book is essential in ensuring that there are challenges that are posed towards the existing knowledge that people already have in their minds. Based on such issues, the book can be considered to have a relationship with the aspects of the ethics of critique in the manner in which it intends to achieve its purpose. According to the ethics of critique, there are different things that are focused on while evaluating key alternatives. Based on this emphasis, there is always the existing factor that determines the ways in which things are carried out and there is also other factor that may influence the manner in which the truth about the things that go around can be explained (Dawkins, 2011). The new idea that tends to elaborate the new approach to the issues involved has its stand which implies the obligation that the new ways of doing things tend to eliminate the false or injustices that were previously caused by the initial outlooks of things. Based on this idea, it is also possible to imply that boo takes a similar approach as that of the ethic of critique.
The ethics of critique also dwells on the provision of evidence that brings out the issues involved in the sense of reality. According to the ethics of critique, it can be implied that the reasons behind every explanation of the things affecting the phenomena always have some evidence that affects the ways in which different things are viewed. Based on this idea, the ethic of critique always wants some of the verifiable ideas that can be used in support of any claim or anything that may need thorough explanation as part of satisfaction (Davies, & Brundrett, 2010). Based on this idea there are close relationships between the ethics of critique and what Darwin intends to achieve in his work concerning the magical reality. Based on this idea, it is possible to imply that the book has a relationship with the ethics of critique in that it provides the scientific and other biological evidences that can be used in explaining the related aspects of the phenomena. Consequently, it can be said that both the book and the ethics of critique both aims at providing evidence that cannot be doubted in any way.
There is also a relationship between the book and the ethic of critique in that they both find dissatisfaction on the previous ways of doing things. According to this perspective, it is possible to insinuate the ways in which the aspects of dissatisfaction have been established. According to this implication, it is possible to assert that the previous ways of doing things do not match the new strategies of enhancing success on providing explanation for the different phenomena and issues. According to the book there are mythical elements responsible for explaining the different perspectives such as the existence of the night. According to this perspective, it is possible to assert that there would be doubts in the original ideas. Additionally, the increase in the dissatisfying factors would lead to the development of new ideas that would be considered efficient in increasing the success of the explanations.
The ways in which the book contributes to the ethic of critique
After analyzing the book and its relationship with the ethic of critique, the ways in which the book contributes to the ethics of critique is now an essential issue. One of the ways in which the book contributes to the aspects of critique is that it draws a line of difference between what initially existed and what ought to be (Davies, & Brundrett, 2010). According to the book it has explained the stories of creation in the bible and what the ancestors had to say about the issues existing in the world space. According to the book it has contributed to the ethic of critique in that it has challenged the norms that have already existed about the stories of creation and the key issues that exist in the society based on the aspects of the real world phenomena. Additionally, there may be different factors that are associated with the manner in which the book tends to disapprove the myths with the science as a reality. Based on this, the book tries to contribute to the body of ethics of critique by proposing science and testing as some of the surest ways of ensuring success in the development of logical explanations that provides justice and success in the mode of the phenomenal existence. At least the book has been specific on chemistry and biological elements that have been used as a source of explanation to the various issues that are affecting specific fields in different ways.
The book has also contributed to the ethic of critique by putting the ideas visible for all the readers.

According to the book, there are simple and clear evidence that have been used in ensuring that a thin line has been drawn between the supernatural myths and the magical reality of science. According to this implication, it is possible to state that the book has used the real life situations like the appearance of the day and night and also the evolution processes. The myths in the bible have also been used as way of ensuring that there are varieties of sources of mythical stances in the world space. The author has used simple illustrations as a way of ensuring that the difference is appropriately understood. According to the author he intended to bring the ethic of critique into a reality. According to the general concept of the ethic critique, there are always aspects of injustice and unfairness that trigger the need for change and amendment of the current existing practices (Davies, & Brundrett, 2010). Based on this strategy, the book has opened and developed a picture of reality among people who tend to view different situations differently. Based on this factor the book has helped in actualizing the aspects of ethic of critique. These ideas are also based on the fact that people need to realize that there are some norms and issues that may need a change in the related

environments.
The book is essential in its contribution to the ethic of critique by using the real life situations such as the rising and the falling of the sun as part of the world phenomena that have been explained through the stories of creation.

Additionally, there are other issues for example; the book has created a comparison view of the old ways and the current ways of scientific understanding of things. According to this perspective, the book has implied that there would always be gaps between the two sides of the issues being amended and the new situation tends to offer more superior stances from the previous ones. This contributes to the fact that change and amendments are inevitable but the benchmark for change is still pegged on the already existing situations that are considered inefficient. Additionally, this contributes to the ethic critique since the gaps are what are actually considered as misleading and responsible for harm towards different populations in the society (Davies, & Brundrett, 2010).
The book also contributes to the aspects of ethic of critique by always allowing for change in all aspects of life. Based on the phenomena, the book agrees that a change would perfectly suit the ways in which all the factors involved are developed. It is possible that the book finds some explanations more superior than the others and, therefore, worth adopting. Basically, the book has used the mythical and the non-mythical approaches in explaining how better some of the issues may

be used in ensuring success.
The application of the book and the ethics of critique to the leadership today
Since the subject of the class is on the ethical dimension of leadership, it is possible to determine the ways in which the book and the concept of ethic critique may be used in enhancing the different dimensions of leadership. The leaders have a moral obligation to satisfy the needs of the society and the various people whom they serve in different ways. The fact that there are different needs among the people surrounding the leadership has implied that there would also be need for amendments. According to the ethical dimensions of the leadership, there are various factors that are focused on depending on the ways in which they contribute to the right and wrong perception of the leadership decision making. Based on this factor, the ethic of critique is a virtue that composes and constitutes the ethical dimensions of leadership (Davies, & Brundrett, 2010). The leaders would need to change some of the aspects that would not help in developing positivity in the group while causing harm to other people. The book has offered appropriate examples of the discomforting situations that may be used in explaining the ways in which the leaders enhance their stances. Additionally, the book lays emphasis on the need to development of the reality that has been achieved through the scientific ways as suggested by the book. However, there are other forms of realities that can also be developed through embracing the ethical dimension in every leadership concepts. Such factors enhance success in developing the ethic of critique.
