"Her şeyi bilme şeklindeki bu kendini beğenmiş küstahlığın temeli hiçbir zaman hiçbir şeyi anlamamış olmaktan başka bir şey değildir. Bir kerecik olsun, tek bir şeyi tam olarak anlama deneyimi olan ve bilginin nasıl elde edildiğini gerçekten duyumsamış olan bir kimse, kendisinin hiç anlamadığı sonsuz sayıda başka hakikatlerin de var olduğunu farkeder."

Çeşitli zamanlardan ve çeşitli alanlarda uzmanlaşmış farklı bilim insanlarının yazdıkları kitaplardan, günlüklerden kendilerine ait fikirleri okumak farklı bir yarar ve keyif sağlıyor. Herkese tavsiye ederim. Çok farklı bakış açıları kazanıyorsunuz.

This 476 page book of science readings was remarkable for it's brief bio of authors before each selection and different literary styles of the different scientific authors going back to the ancients (as in Aristotle). An easy book to take a little sample here and a little sample there.

Excellent selection of essays from leading scientists over the ages. Great overview of scientific progress from those who made it. "Contribute to science"

Excellent collection of scientific excerpts from across the ages.
The selections from the field of psychology I found poor and not up to the standard of the rest of the anthology.

A really excellent job of choosing the selections. I've been repeatedly dipping into this, and rereading it, ever since I got it.

Reading this book feels like seeing things from the eyes of the thinker him/herself. A good easy read that gives s ienxw that human touch.
