自从人类进入科学时代以来,科学通过认识和改变世界,体现了自己的力量,如今科学几乎等同于真理,是人们世界观主要的构成部分,也成为很大一部分人的信仰,亦或者是迷信。 科学一直试图解释我们这个世界因何存在?我们处在宇宙什么位置?世界是怎样运转的?也就是说科学最...
评分 评分对于物理、数学定理,我们毫不陌生。一个学龄儿童就能够轻松说出勾股定理、浮力原理、太阳地球月球运行规律。但这些规律、定理绝不是凭空而来,是经历了几千年艰苦的探索而得出来的,从而成为我们打开世界未知大门的钥匙。 美国国家科学院院士、伦敦皇家学会外籍会员、美国哲...
评分(首先说明一下,本文绝不能算书评,因为书是好书,怪我才疏学浅,所以我自认对于这样一本著作是绝无资格评说的,不如勉强称为“读后感”好了。) 在未读此书之前,仅凭封面就有了好感,也不知道是哪个困素使然,将这本书在我的大脑里同“历史”相连接,等到开心的拿到书并满...
评分本书是诺贝尔物理学奖获得者温伯格的一本新书。之前,温伯格为普通读者撰写过《宇宙最初的三分钟》、《终极理论之梦》、《科学反击文化敌手》等科普著作。 作为读者,我最想看到的是除了继续对还原论近乎偏执的百折不挠的坚持和阐释之外——这从作者以往的经历来看,是毫无疑问...

A masterful commentary on the history of science from the Greeks to modern times, by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Steven Weinberg—a thought-provoking and important book by one of the most distinguished scientists and intellectuals of our time.
In this rich, irreverent, and compelling history, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Steven Weinberg takes us across centuries from ancient Miletus to medieval Baghdad and Oxford, from Plato’s Academy and the Museum of Alexandria to the cathedral school of Chartres and the Royal Society of London. He shows that the scientists of ancient and medieval times not only did not understand what we understand about the world—they did not understand what there is to understand, or how to understand it. Yet over the centuries, through the struggle to solve such mysteries as the curious backward movement of the planets and the rise and fall of the tides, the modern discipline of science eventually emerged. Along the way, Weinberg examines historic clashes and collaborations between science and the competing spheres of religion, technology, poetry, mathematics, and philosophy.
An illuminating exploration of the way we consider and analyze the world around us, To Explain the World is a sweeping, ambitious account of how difficult it was to discover the goals and methods of modern science, and the impact of this discovery on human knowledge and development.
从泰勒斯到牛顿
评分我的最爱有2个..温伯格和丹齐格...给孩子们讲书...大家写的小书..优点是intellectual structure很清楚 现成的直接用。缺点是细节要自己fill the void..这个夏天太贫乏..自己搭讲义很累
评分多点吐槽少点描述性介绍就好了
评分Plato was ‘silly.’ Bacon ‘overrated.’ Galileo ‘behind the times.’ 论为什么科学家不能写历史。其实我一直觉得吴军写的数学和浪潮不错,但文明就不行。
评分您老爲何要寫這種無意義的書?
