Behind the Curtain: An Inquiry into Science - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Behind the Curtain invites the reader on an intellectual journey through the wonders, limitations and possibilities of the scientific adventure; a journey led by H. Michael Fried, who holds a PhD in theoretical physics. The journey explores the conceptual foundations of modern science and though written from the perspective of a physicist it is addressed to interested readers of all stripes. The journey is directed, first and foremost, by the search for an understanding that views the natural world as a holistic organic unity and only secondarily as a mechanism constructed from independent, interrelated components. By journey's end, the path has traversed the scientific landscape to offer views of both the necessity of the holistic approach as well as how holism can be implemented as a workable program.
