Product Description
Some of the top scientists of today—the geographer Jared Diamond, the linguist Steven Pinker, the philosopher Daniel Dennett, Marvin Minsky, Lee Smolin, among others—discuss the unique contributions each is making to the development of modern thought. Some of these thinkers are in sync, others in dissent, but what emerges is a dialogue that serves to support the assertion that a third class will emerge where the literary intellectual and the scientist merge. This study not only serves as an introduction to some of the best scientific minds of the 21st century, but also brings together the sciences and humanities in a way that, until now, seemed virtually impossible. Brockman ha reunido en este volumen algunos de los cientificos mas punteros de la actualidad: el geografo Jared Diamond, el psicologo y lingueista Steven Pinker, el fisico David Deutsch, el filosofo Daniel C. Dennett, el astronomo Martin Rees, el fisico teorico Lee Smolin, entre otros. Algunos de ellos comparten puntos de vista, otros disienten pero lo que emerge es un dialogo que sirve tanto de introduccion a algunas de las mentes cientificas mas lucidas del siglo XXI como de punto de partida para crear una sinergia entre la ciencia y las humanidades, dos esferas que hasta el presente, parecian virtualmente incompatibles.
