Arthur Koestler's extraordinary history of humanity's changing
vision of the universe In this masterly synthesis, Arthur 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 seventeenth 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.
