Overview
Over two millennia ago, the prescient insights of Anaximander paved the way forĀ cosmology, physics, geography, meteorology, and biology, setting in motion a new way of seeing the world. His legacy includesĀ the revolutionary ideasĀ that the Earth floats in a void,Ā that animals evolved, that the world can be understood inĀ natural rather than supernatural terms, and that universal laws govern all phenomena. HeĀ introduced a new mode of rational thinkingĀ with an openness to uncertainty and the progress of knowledge.

In this elegant work, the renowned theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli brings to light the importance of Anaximanderās overlookedĀ influence on modern science. He examines Anaximander not from the point of view of a historian or as an expert in Greek philosophy, but as a scientistĀ interested in the deep natureĀ ofĀ scientific thinking, which Rovelli locates in theĀ critical and rebellious ability to reimagine the world again and again. Anaximander celebrates the radical lack of certainty that defines the scientific quest for knowledge.
