Intellectual activities which deal with nature's language and logic
should, and we certainly hope that they will, lead us ultimately to
a better understanding of spiritual truths. Their primary object,
however, is and always was to truth in the material world.-from
"Scientific Individualism"The great conflict between science and
religion playing out today is but the latest act in a drama that's
been running for millennia. Here, one of the greatest scientists
and technological innovators of the early 20th century builds a
bridge between these two philosophies so often at odds. Lucidly
written and frequently poetic-Pupin quotes from the Bible and
respectfully deems scientists "prophets"-this is a beautiful,
warmly humanistic consideration of the "new reformation" that
revolutionized humanity's understanding of the laws of the universe
and enabled us to find the divine in the natural world as centuries
of scientific scholarship has revealed it to us. First published in
1927, this important work of science philosophy is still highly
relevant today.Also available from Cosimo Classics: Pupin's
autobiography, From Immigrant to Inventor.American physicist and
writer MICHAEL IDVORSKY PUPIN (1858-1935) was born in Serbia and
emigrated to the United States as a teenager. As a professor and
researcher at Columbia University, he invented sonar and made
important discoveries in the fields of X-ray physics and
telecommunications.
