A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Originating from the Rede Lecture delivered at the University of Cambridge in November 1930, this book is based upon the conviction that the teachings and findings of astronomy and physical science are destined to produce an immense change on our outlook on the universe as a whole, and on views about the significance of human life. The author contends that the questions at issue are ultimately one for philosophical discussion, but that before philosophers can speak, science should present ascertained facts and provisional hypotheses. The book is therefore written with these thoughts in mind while broadly presenting the fundamental physical ideas and findings relevant for a wider philosophical inquiry.

Revue de presse

'My mother, always an enthusiast for astronomy, received this book some time in the 1930s and later encouraged me to read it. The book starts with Plato's allegory of the prisoners in a cave trying to understand the world outside by watching shadows on the wall. For me the space age has brought us a long way closer to losing our shackles and looking directly out of the cave.' David Southwood, Astronomy Now
