Eric Hobsbawm es, en palabras de Orlando Figes, «el historiador vivo más conocido del mundo». Nacido en 1917 en Alejandría, pasó su niñez en la Viena posterior a la Gran Guerra, su adolescencia en Berlín, donde fue testigo de la llegada de Hitler al poder, y su juventud en Londres y en Cambridge, en vísperas de la guerra civil española. Ha sido profesor de la Universidad de Londres hasta su jubilación, y posteriormente de la New School Research de Nueva York. La riqueza de la experiencia vivida y su inmensa curiosidad intelectual son los pilares de esta autobiografía apasionante, memoria del siglo más terrible y extraordinario de la historia de la humanidad. Políglota, cosmopolita, historiador riguroso pero dotado de una gran fuerza imaginativa, sentido del humor y talento literario, Hobsbawm nos lleva en este libro desde el corazón mismo de Europa hasta los Estados Unidos (que empezó a apreciar gracias a su pasión por el jazz), a América Latina (donde fue intérprete de Che Guevara), a la India y al Lejano Oriente, siempre al paso de su firme compromiso con la causa del socialismo, para entregarnos una aproximación genial a la historia del siglo XX, a sus guerras y a sus batallas ideológicas, a sus éxitos y a sus fracasos, a los poderosos y a los débiles, a los grandes hombres y a la gente corriente, con una lucidez y un coraje que hacen de estas memorias un documento histórico y humano de proporciones gigantescas.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume addresses the history and epistemology of early modern cosmology. The authors reconstruct the development of cosmological ideas in the age of 'scientific revolution' from Copernicus to Leibniz, taking into account the growth of a unified celestial-and-terrestrial mechanics. The volume investigates how, in the rise of the new science, cosmology displayed deep and multifaceted interrelations between scientific notions (stemming from mechanics, mathematics, geometry, astronomy) and philosophical concepts. These were employed to frame a general picture of the universe, as well as to criticize and interpret scientific notions and observational data.This interdisciplinary work reconstructs a conceptual web pervaded by various intellectual attitudes and drives. It presents an historical-epistemological unified itinerary which includes Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Descartes, Huygens, Newton and Leibniz. For each of the scientists and philosophers, a presentation and commentary is made of their cosmological views, and where relevant, outlines of their most relevant physical concepts are given. Furthermore, the authors highlight the philosophical and epistemological implications of their scientific works. This work is helpful both as a synthetic overview of early modern cosmology, and an analytical exposition of the elements that were intertwined in early-modern cosmology. This book addresses historians, philosophers, and scientists and can also be used as a research source book by post-graduate students in epistemology, history of science and history of philosophy.…
