“Weinberg 带我们跨越数个世纪,从古米利都到中世纪的巴格达和牛津,从柏拉图学园和亚历山大博物馆,到沙特尔大教堂学校和伦敦皇家学会。他指出,古代和中世纪的科学家不仅不理解我们如今对世界的认知——他们甚至不理解有什么是需要去理解的,或者该如何去理解。然而,经过数个世纪致力于解开行星逆行之谜、潮起潮落等谜团的努力,现代科学学科最终

我今年读过的一些好书:- 玛丽·比尔德的《SPQR》。一本引人入胜纵览古罗马历史的书,如果我没记错的话主要是共和国和帝国早期。- 史蒂文·温伯格的《To Explain The World》。从古代讲到牛顿时期的物理学史。千万别跳过技术注释!一定要动手做里面的习题!- 我重读了希拉里·曼特尔的《狼厅》(Wolf Hall),依然那么棒……
Some good ones I read this year: - _SPQR_, by Mary Beard. Engaging book surveying the history of ancient Rome, mostly Republic and early Empire if I recall correctly. - _To Explain The World_, by Steven Weinberg. History of physics from the ancients to about the time of Newton. Don't skip the technical notes! Actually do the problems! - I reread _Wolf Hall_, by Hilary Mantel, it was as good…
我推荐史蒂文·温伯格的《To Explain the World: The Discovery of Modern Science》(解释世界:发现现代科学)。
I recommend "To Explain the World: The Discovery of Modern Science" by Steven Weinberg.
史蒂文·温伯格的《To Explain The World》棒极了,是一位诺贝尔奖得主、理论物理学家面向大众写的普及读物。
To Explain The World by Steven Weinberg is great, written by a Nobel laureate theoretical physicist for a popular audience.
史蒂文·温伯格的《To Explain the World》。这不仅是一部科学史,更是一部出自伟大科学家之手的科学史。
"To Explain the World" by Steven Weinberg. Not only a history of science, but one written by a great scientist.
可能这就是所谓的巴德尔-迈因霍夫现象(Baader-Meinhof)吧,我在读史蒂文·温伯格的《To Explain the World》(目前感觉相当不错)时第一次碰到了“辉格史观”(Whiggish)这个词。他还挖苦了一下库恩(Kuhn),回忆了他俩一次短暂会面时,库恩为亚里士多德辩护,他觉得简直前言不搭后语。我也不是科学思想领域的专家,……
In what may be a case of Baader-Meinhof, I just came across the term "Whiggish" for the first time, reading Steven Weinberg's _To Explain the World_ (pretty good so far). He also has a dig at Kuhn, recounting a time when they met briefly and Kuhn gave a defense of Aristotle that he found incoherent. I'm no expert in the field of scientific thought,…
