These lectures trace ideas from the Greeks to the physics of the 1920s. Mathematics gives science its power, but Whitehead questions what happens when a successful method becomes a complete picture of reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stakes reach beyond science. Can a world understood as dead matter make room for poetry, ethics and religion? Whitehead explores scientific materialism, the Romantic poets’ resistance to it, and the challenges of relativity. He proposes a different view: nature as a web of living processes, rather than separate, lifeless parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat you'll discover\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFaith in an ordered world\u003c\/strong\u003e – Explore why Whitehead places confidence in nature’s order at the beginning of modern science.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe power of pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e – See how mathematics studies relations that hold regardless of the things they connect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA picture worth questioning\u003c\/strong\u003e – Examine what scientific materialism leaves out when it treats nature as dead matter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoetry pushes back\u003c\/strong\u003e – Meet the Romantic resistance to a view of nature stripped of living qualities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNature as living process\u003c\/strong\u003e – Follow Whitehead toward a philosophy of organism, with room to reconsider science and religion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for patient readers who love the history of ideas and wonder how science, religion, poetry and ethics fit together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen the first page now and let Whitehead challenge the picture of nature you take for granted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library of Alexandria Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59534567440732,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/9442\/8764\/files\/04300_en_ebook-front_c26.jpg?v=1792174898","url":"https:\/\/libraryofalexandria.com\/sv\/products\/science-and-the-modern-world","provider":"The Library of Alexandria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
