Description: Sleepwalkers : A History of Man's Changing Vision of the Universe, Paperback by Koestler, Arthur, ISBN 0140192468, ISBN-13 9780140192469, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US An extraordinary history of humanitys changing vision of the universe. In this masterly synthesis, Arthur Koestler cuts through the sterile distinction between sciences and humanities to bring to life the whole history of cosmology from the Babylonians to Newton. He shows how the tragic split between science and religion arose and how, in particular, the modern world-view replaced the medieval world-view in the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century. He also provides vivid and judicious pen-portraits of a string of great scientists and makes clear the role that political bias and unconscious prejudice played in their creativity.
