Meer over het boek

The book delves into the paradox of science's immense power and its delayed emergence in human history. It argues that the essence of scientific inquiry lies in its practitioners' willingness to disregard traditional influences like religion and philosophy, focusing instead on observation and experimentation. Through compelling historical examples, it challenges conventional beliefs about scientific discovery, presenting a radical perspective on the nature of knowledge and the evolution of scientific thought.
