Doğa ve Yunanlar - Bilim ve Hümanizm

"The world is big, magnificent and beautiful. My scientific knowledge of what has happened on it spans hundreds of millions of years. But looked at from another perspective, I have acquired all this knowledge in a short period of only seventy, eighty or ninety years. This is an immeasurable amount of time, even It is a tiny point in the face of the finite amount of millions and billions of years that we can learn to measure. Where did I come from and where am I going? This is the big question that applies to all of us, and science has no answer to it. But science is the one we have reached on the path to reliable and indisputable knowledge. It represents the cutting edge."

Nobel Prize-winning physicist Erwin Schrödinger was one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century. His public lectures on the history and philosophy of science became legendary. Nature and the Greeks - Science and Humanism offers me access to two of Schrödinger's famous lectures in written form for the first time. Nature and the Greeks offers a comprehensive historical assessment of the understanding of science of the last century, tracing the traces of modern science to the earliest stages of Western philosophy. Science and Humanism, on the other hand, turns to one of the most critical scientific problems, questioning the value of scientific research. How does the progress of modern science affect the relationship between the concrete world and the spiritual world? examines its impact. These two short but powerful texts, whose historical context becomes clearer with Roger Penrose's foreword, open the door to rethinking questions that will remain valid throughout history, through the eyes of one of the greatest physicists of the last century.
