The Short history of science : or the long path to the union of metaphysics and empiricism

Tuotetiedot

Englanninkielinen versio teoksesta Tieteen lyhyt historia. This book offers a guided tour of the path of development of natural sciences from antique philosophical concepts to the precise empirical theories in modern physics and cosmology, and their relation to a scientific picture of physical reality. Arising out of Tuomo Suntola’s deep-probing work on the Dynamic Universe theory, the book discusses the possibility of uniting present theories by restructuring the empirically driven solutions at a deeper metaphysical level. In addition to a study of the development path itself, the book presents a biographical gallery of more than a hundred scientists who contributed majorly to scientific development as well as a long list of references with links to original texts by the pioneers. The book is not only a source of information – but also challenges the reader to consider for himself this scientific evolution, the basis of prevailing theories and the picture of reality. The Short History of Science – or the long path to the union of metaphysics and empiricism is a source of inspiration and provides a tool for both teachers and students of natural sciences as well as for individuals willing to deepen their understanding of the universe we live in.
