His legacy includes the revolutionary ideas that the Earth floats in a void, that animals evolved, that the world can be understood in natural rather than supernatural terms, and that universal laws govern all phenomena. He introduced a new mode of rational thinking with an openness to uncertainty and the progress of knowledge. In this elegant work, the renowned theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli brings to light the importance of Anaximander's overlooked influence on modern science. He examines Anaximander not from the point of view of a historian or as an expert in Greek philosophy, but as a scientist interested in the deep nature of scientific thinking, which Rovelli locates in the critical and rebellious ability to reimagine the world again and again. Anaximander celebrates the radical lack of certainty that defines the scientific quest for knowledge"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 182 Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 182 Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 182 Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 182 Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList
