Acerca de esta escucha

The bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics illuminates the nature of science through the revolutionary ideas of the Greek philosopher Anaximander

Over two millennia ago, the prescient insights of Anaximander paved the way for cosmology, physics, geography, meteorology, and biology, setting in motion a new way of seeing the world. His legacy includes the revolutionary ideas that the Earth floats in a void, that animals evolved, that the world can be understood in natural rather than supernatural terms, and that universal laws govern all phenomena. He introduced a new mode of rational thinking with an openness to uncertainty and the progress of knowledge.

In this elegant work, the renowned theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli brings to light the importance of Anaximander’s overlooked influence on modern science. He examines Anaximander not from the point of view of a historian or as an expert in Greek philosophy, but as a scientist interested in the deep nature of scientific thinking, which Rovelli locates in the critical and rebellious ability to reimagine the world again and again. Anaximander celebrates the radical lack of certainty that defines the scientific quest for knowledge.

* This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF of maps, landmarks, artifacts, and some of the earliest antiquities found and documented from ancient times.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Solid insights into the foundations of science...as usual, Rovelli communicates his ideas with clarity and verve.” —Kirkus

“An insightful survey of the scientific contributions of Greek philosopher Anaximander...Rovelli makes the most of the available evidence in building his case that the philosopher’s emphasis on natural causes marked a sea change in human thought. This is a masterful overview of a pivotal figure in scientific history.” —Publisher's Weekly

“What [Rovelli] has to say about the Greek philosopher Anaximander from the 6th century BC is fascinating… by the end of the book I was convinced.” —Popular Science

Profound Philosophical Ideas • Accessible Straightforward Prose • Great Narration • Coherent Poetic Worldview

..perhaps 2 chapters too long.
No doubt Rovelli is a brilliant man, and keep in mind History of Science is his side gig!
The first 6 chapters are great stuff and well worth the listen; i'd never heard of Anax'r and his legacy.
He next covers the definition and practice of Science, contrasting Eaatern and Western approaches.
But the last few chapters veer off into speculation about ancient, literally prehistoric times and somewhat longwinded coverage of the religious/secular tension.

really good..but

Another great book from Rovelli

As a leading Member of the Ionian School of Philosophy in Ancient Greece, Anaximander puts forth the Idea that there were Laws based on necessity showing that physical variables change according to necessity in conformity with the order of Time. The theories of Copernicus, Galileo, Newton and countless others through the Ages evolve following those Basic Laws.

Rovelli takes this case in his simple, accessible, straightforward prose as a taking off point to discuss the importance of Science as the most useful tool we have to understand The World. He spends a lot of time defining and defending the role of Scientific Truth in the face of cultural relativism and even Religious Truth. With a number of anecdotes from History and the theories of other writers, he makes a powerful plea for the Reader to understand Science as an evolving pursuit to overcome uncertainty, not always successful, but alway the best chance our feeble Brains have access to.

Definitely Four Stars. ****

Fascinating

Very cool journey through the history of the individual, but at a deeper level, the author connects the leaps that Anaximander made to how we think about science, religion, and philosophy.

Rovelli's passion for knowledge and understanding, undaunted by complexity and uncertainty, is an oasis in a parched world drained by fear and self-imposed limitations. Excellent narration
