The Origins of Knowledge and Imagination by Jacob Bronowski
“A gem of enlightenment. . . . One rejoices in Bronowski’s dedication to the identity of acts of creativity and of imagination, whether in Blake or Yeats or Einstein or Heisenberg.”—Kirkus Reviews “A delightful look at the inquiring mind.”—Library Journal In this eloquent volume Jacob Bronowski, mathematician and scientist, presents a succinct introduction to the state of modern thinking about the role of science in man's intellectual and moral life. Weaving together themes from ethnology, linguistics, philosophy, and physics, he confronts the questions of who we are, what we are, and how we relate to the universe around us.
Bronowski, Jacob: - Jacob Bronowski (1908-1974) was Director General, Process Development Department, The National Coal Board, London, England.
