In the twentieth century, science and philosophy are finding their way back to each other, much like they did in the seventeenth century before their unfortunate split. Prof. Whiteheads latest work is essential reading for every scientist who seeks to understand the broader implications of their field and for philosophers eager to engage with scientific thought. This book not only holds immense significance but is also beautifully crafted. Readers will appreciate the dynamic portrayal of the various epochs in modern scientific thought, as well as how each periods central ideas relate to contemporary issues. While most chapters are accessible and engaging, some sections invite deeper contemplation and reward careful consideration. As the poet once noted, ‘and as he works, the industrious bee computes his time as well as we.’ This book is a journey through the history of ideas that promises to enlighten and inspire.Copyright Science Stories Filosofia Mondiale Scienza Scienze sociali
