Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. In this groundbreaking new book, one of the world's greatest living scientists argues for the fundamental unity of all knowledge and the need to search for what he calls consilience, the composition of the principles governing every branch of learning. Edward O Wilson, the pioneer of sociobiology and biodiversity, once again breaks out of the conventions of current thinking. He shows how our explosive rise in intellectual mastery of the truths of our universe has its roots in the ancient Greek concept of an intrinsic orderliness that governs our cosmos, a vision that found its apogee in the Age of Enlightenment, then gradually was lost in the increasing fragmentation and specialisation of knowledge in the last two centuries. Professor Wilson shows why the goals of the original Enlightenment are surging back to life, why they are reappearing on the very frontiers of science and humanisitc scholarship, and how they are beginning to sketch themselves as the blueprint of our world. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. First edition. A standout association copy, inscribed in the year of publication on the front free endpaper: "For Jeremy Knowles, whose archangel's wings spread above it all, with gratitude and affection, EO Wilson, March, 16, 1998." Uncommon signed, especially in the first printing. Born in England, Knowles was a prominent professor of chemistry and the dean of the Harvard faculty of arts and sciences from 1991 to 2002. In that capacity he would have been one of Wilson's greatest supporters. As testimony to Wilson's appreciation of Knowles, laid in is a handwritten passage from Consiliencethat Wilson copied out on yellow paper; it reads, "Most of the issues that vex humanity daily--ethnic conflict, arms escalation, over-population, abortion, environment, endemic poverty . . . -- cannot be solved without integration knowledge from the natural sciences with that of the social sciences and humanities. Only fluency across the boundaries will provide a clear view of the world as it really is . . . Yet the vast majority of our political leaders are trained exclusively in the social sciences and insanities, and have little or no knowledge of the natural sciences." This holograph quotation is laid in where the passage is found on page 13, and the content speaks precisely to the outlook and mission of a dean of arts and sciences.Consilience"argues for the fundamental unity of all knowledge and the need to search for consilience--the proof that everything in our world is organized in terms of a small number of fundamental natural laws that comprise the principles underlying every branch of learning." The book is perhaps the clearest expression of Wilson's overall worldview and philosophy. Wilson was one of the most important biologists of the 20th century and was twice the winner of the Pulitzer Prize. Blue paper boards with black cloth spine. A fine book in a fine, price-clipped jacket. Holograph quotation also fine, folded once horizontally. A vital addition to any science or humanities collection.
