Butterfield herbert introduction (10 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: Good. In this work Koestler cuts through the sterile distinction between 'sciences' and 'humanities' to bring to life the whole history of cosmology from the Babylonians to Newton. He shows how the tragic split between science and religion arose and how, in, particular, the modern world-view replaced the medieval world-view in the scientific revolution of the 17th century. He also provides vivid and judicious pen-portraits of a string of great scientists and makes clear the role that political bias and unconscious prejudice played in their creativity.
