Bøger af Siddhartha Shankar

For more than one reason I had an extra kinship with science which has been coming from my schooling where I began learning many fabulous inventions of science including Archimedes¿ laws of buoyancy and Newton¿s law of Gravitation. Besides, the story of Galilean inquisition hurts me badly and also the wonderful invention of radio by Guglielmo Marconi began to sway the heart at my tender age. This is perhaps because I loved listening to radio program at the blooming of my youth. From the time on it seems to me that the most learned person in history were supposed to be either scientists or philosophers because my school teacher taught me that this is only the scientist or philosopher who could make the world full of knowledge. And, those sorts of people are believed to be more sagacious than other professionals. This is how I fall in love with science as well as philosophy. Therefore, in a strict sense I couldn¿t make the difference between scientists and philosophers and even I am still confused today not to attain to a matured idea about their major traits which could professionally sunder them out.
