Translated into English for the first time, an award-winning theoretical physicist discusses the theories of Anaximander, the sixth-century BC Greek philosopher, and examines the influence he had on scientific thinking in a historical and philosophical context.

Anaximander: And the Birth of Science | Carlo Rovelli

pick

Carlo Rovelli is just a great science writer. It is an enjoyable argument about Anaximader role as the first real scientist and how he has not been given his due as a major figure in science, not philosophy. More importantly Rovelli discusses and explains what is science and scientific thought. It‘s limits and its strengths. Very enjoyable
