Science and the Modern World

EN · English

Whitehead's Lowell Lectures, read in full: 14 chapters following the birth of modern science from the 1600s through mathematics, the century of genius, relativity and quantum theory — and asking what a universe of dull matter means for God, religion and society. For anyone ready to finally hear the book that explains how science made the modern mind. Long after the last chapter, one feeling remains: nature is alive — and science itself is one of the great romantic poems.
