Anaximander and the Birth of Science

Leading theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli turns to the figure of the ancient Greek philosopher Anaximander – the author of the first scientific concept of the universe – to trace the history of scientific thought. The author carefully reconstructs Anaximander's theories... based on what we know, paying special attention to their historical and philosophical context. The book organically intertwines descriptions of the first concepts of the universe and reflections of a prominent scholar of our time on the very nature of scientific thinking.
