Descrizione libro Softcover. Condizione: New. An 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.

Descrizione libro Paper Back. Condizione: New. A lively and personal history of cosmology from the Babylonians to Newton with emphasis upon the tragic and unnecessary estrangement of science and religion. Particularly interesting are the sections on Copernicus and Kepler. Many instructive lessons about the inertia of the human mind and its resistance to innovation as well as about the wild zig-zags science makes towards progress. Koestler is most provocative and at his humane and noble best when considering what science has lost in the aftermath of its divorce from faith: a sobering look at the progressive spiritual desiccation at the center of our modern world.
