A masterful commentary on the history of science from the Greeks to modern times, by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Steven Weinberg—a thought-provoking and important book by one of the most distinguished scientists and intellectuals of our time.
In this rich, irreverent, and compelling history, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Steven Weinberg takes us across centuries from ancient Miletus to medieval Baghdad and Oxford, from Plato’s Academy and the Museum of Alexandria to the cathedral school of Chartres and the Royal Society of London. He shows that the scientists of ancient and medieval times not only did not understand what we understand about the world—they did not understand what there is to understand, or how to understand it. Yet over the centuries, through the struggle to solve such mysteries as the curious backward movement of the planets and the rise and fall of the tides, the modern discipline of science eventually emerged. Along the way, Weinberg examines historic clashes and collaborations between science and the competing spheres of religion, technology, poetry, mathematics, and philosophy.
An illuminating exploration of the way we consider and analyze the world around us, To Explain the World is a sweeping, ambitious account of how difficult it was to discover the goals and methods of modern science, and the impact of this discovery on human knowledge and development.
Steven Weinberg is a theoretical physicist and the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, the National Medal of Science, the Lewis Thomas Prize for the Scientist as Poet, and numerous honorary degrees and other awards. He is a member of the National Academy of Science, the Royal Society of London, the American Philosophical Society, and other academies. A longtime contributor to The New York Review of Books, he is the author of The First Three Minutes, Dreams of a Final Theory, Facing Up, and Lake Views, as well as leading treatises on theoretical physics. He holds the Josey Regental Chair in Science at the University of Texas at Austin.

评分Weinberg在这本书中主要用物理学史来说明推动物理学发展的并不是哲学,恰恰相反,哲学经常阻碍物理学的进度。是实验推动了物理学的进步,挑战了哲学,同时推动哲学的进步。
我们总是提到三观,这三观分别是价值观、人生观和世界观。其中世界观,是说我们如何认识这个世界的。另外,从专业角度考虑,通常来说这是哲学家主要思考的问题。这种情势下我的思维有些定型,很少去把自然科学与对世界的认识这个问题联系起来,然而自然科学往往改变事物的存在...
评分《给世界的答案》书评:了解科学发展史,探究科学真谛 科学探究与发现一只伴随着人类,从古至今乃至未来。因为有了科学,人类才从愚昧走向文明,从农耕社会走向文明社会,从最原始的生理本能,到拥有了科技,从蒸汽机、电灯的发明到现在...
评分本书是诺贝尔物理学奖获得者温伯格的一本新书。之前,温伯格为普通读者撰写过《宇宙最初的三分钟》、《终极理论之梦》、《科学反击文化敌手》等科普著作。 作为读者,我最想看到的是除了继续对还原论近乎偏执的百折不挠的坚持和阐释之外——这从作者以往的经历来看,是毫无疑问...
评分对于物理、数学定理,我们毫不陌生。一个学龄儿童就能够轻松说出勾股定理、浮力原理、太阳地球月球运行规律。但这些规律、定理绝不是凭空而来,是经历了几千年艰苦的探索而得出来的,从而成为我们打开世界未知大门的钥匙。 美国国家科学院院士、伦敦皇家学会外籍会员、美国哲...
