Krátky popis
Rich with tales of discovery from Galileo to general relativity, a
stimulating and timely analysis of how science works and why we
need it. 'The best introduction to the scientific enterprise that I
know. A wonderful and important book' David Wootton, author of The
Invention of Science It is only in the last three centuries that
the formidable knowledge-making machine we call modern science has
transformed our way of life and our vision of the universe - two
thousand years after the invention of law, philosophy, drama and
mathematics.Why did we take so long to invent science? And how has
it proved to be so powerful? The Knowledge Machine gives a radical
answer, exploring how science calls on its practitioners to do
something apparently irrational: strip away all previous knowledge
- such as theological, metaphysical or political beliefs - and
channel unprecedented energy into observation and experiment. In
times of climate extremes, novel diseases and rapidly advancing
technology, Strevens contends that we need more than ever to grasp
the inner workings of our knowledge machine. 'A stylish and
accessible investigation into the nature of the scientific method'
Nigel Warburton, Philosophy Bites'This elegant book takes us to the
heart of the scientific enterprise' David Papineau, King's College
London, author of Knowing the Score'This book is a delight to read,
richly illustrated with wonderfully told incidents from the history
of natural science' Nancy Cartwright, University of California San
Diego
