In this fascinating and illuminating work, Leonard Mlodinow guides
us through the critical eras and events in the development of
science, all of which, he demonstrates, were propelled forward by
humankind's collective struggle to know. From the birth of
reasoning and culture to the formation of the studies of physics,
chemistry, biology, and modern-day quantum physics, we come to see
that much of our progress can be attributed to simple
questions-why? how?-bravely asked. Mlodinow profiles some of the
great philosophers, scientists, and thinkers who explored these
questions-Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, Darwin, Einstein and
Lavoisier among them-and makes clear that just as science has
played a key role in shaping the patterns of human thought, human
subjectivity has played a key role in the evolution of science. At
once authoritative and accessible, and infused with the author's
trademark wit, this deeply insightful book is a stunning tribute to
humanity's intellectual curiosity.
