Over two millennia ago, a Greek philosopher had a number of wondrous insights that paved the way to cosmology, physics, geography, meteorology, and biology, setting in motion a new way of seeing the world. Anaximander’s legacy includes the revolutionary idea that the earth floats in a void, that the world can be understood in natural rather than supernatural terms, that animals evolved, and that universal laws govern all phenomena. He introduced a new mode of rational thinking with an openness to uncertainty and to the progress of knowledge.
In this elegant work, acclaimed physicist Carlo Rovelli brings to light the importance of Anaximander’s overlooked legacy to modern science. He examines Anaximander as a scientist interested in shedding light on the deep nature of scientific thinking, which Rovelli locates in his rebellious ability to reimagine the world again and again. Anaximander celebrates the radical lack of certainty that defines the scientific quest for knowledge.

I vaguely/vividly recall studying this great Greek in fragmentary fashion.

I’ve always been intrigued that Rovelli favors Anaximander (over, say, Leucippos or Democritos). But his writing is unputdownable, and what he has to say overall about the Garden, everyone needs to hear.

“always” translates as, “following panicky google search!”
No harm done, it’s just an obvious tell when used repeatedly.

I always find it very interesting when we find out that the basis of our science was discovered long before the Renaissance. We just had to rediscover it. Goes to show you what you can do if you support pure thinkers and liberal arts. Not force everyone in the drive for pure profit. Too bad those days of physiology and the arts are dying a slow death.

I always find it fascinating that the Roman Catholic church burned men at the stake for holding views that had been proven at least 1,500 years earlier.
