Description
In this elegant and thought-provoking work, a renowned theoretical physicist restores the visionary ideas of the ancient Greek philosopher Anaximander to their rightful place in the history of science. Moving beyond the familiar legacy of Thales, the book explores how Anaximander imagined a cosmos governed by natural principles rather than divine intervention—and anticipated ways of thinking that would shape modern scientific inquiry. With clarity and intellectual flair, it traces the enduring significance of Anaximander’s radical questions about the universe, the origins of life, and humanity’s place within nature.
