Anaximander's legacy includes the revolutionary idea that the earth floats in a void, that the world can be understood in natural rather than supernatural terms, that animals evolved, and that universal laws govern all phenomena. He introduced a new mode of rational thinking with an openness to uncertainty and to the progress of knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this elegant work, acclaimed physicist Carlo Rovelli brings to light the importance of Anaximander's overlooked legacy to modern science. He examines Anaximander as a scientist interested in shedding light on the deep nature of scientific thinking, which Rovelli locates in his rebellious ability to reimagine the world again and again. \u003cem\u003eAnaximander\u003c\/em\u003e celebrates the radical lack of certainty that defines the scientific quest for knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46513052942572,"sku":"9781802063042","price":27.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/16730513482829.jpg?v=1748858898","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/anaximander-by-carlo-rovelli-9781802063042","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
