A masterful commentary on the history of science from the Greeks to modern times, by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Steven Weinberg—a thought-provoking and important book by one of the most distinguished scientists and intellectuals of our time.In this rich, irreverent, and compelling history, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Steven Weinberg takes us across centuries from ancient Miletus to medieval Baghdad and Oxford, from Plato’s Academy and the Museum of Alexandria to the cathedral school of Chartres and the Royal Society of London. He shows that the scientists of ancient and medieval times not only did not understand what we understand about the world—they did not understand what there is to understand, or how to understand it. Yet over the centuries, through the struggle to solve such mysteries as the curious backward movement of the planets and the rise and fall of the tides, the modern discipline of science eventually emerged. Along the way, Weinberg examines historic clashes and collaborations between science and the competing spheres of religion, technology, poetry, mathematics, and philosophy.An illuminating exploration of the way we consider and analyze the world around us, To Explain the World is a sweeping, ambitious account of how difficult it was to discover the goals and methods of modern science, and the impact of this discovery on human knowledge and development.

As always, Steven Weinberg writes well and explains things clearly. His thesis is that the scientific revolution was very real and that it was a very real change in the way people went about trying to understand the world. Although he discusses possible reasons for the change, he does not claim to have reached a definitive conclusion. He concentrates on physics and astronomy and on the transition from the Ancient Greek approach - applying pure reason with only a nod to observation of phenomena - to the modern approach based on an essential combination of experiments, observation, and theory. This is not a full fledged history of science (or even of physics and astronomy) but a refutation of the viewpoint the science is merely a social construct, no more valid than any other viewpoint (e.g., religious mysticism). I think he makes a strong case, but then I am a practicing physicist, so I am probably biased. If you are interested in the historical discontinuity between pre-scientific thinking ("philosophizing") and modern scientific thinking, then I highly recommend this book.A note on the eBook version. While the footnote links work pretty well, the links to the Technical notes all take you to the first such note so you have to page through all the earlier notes before you get to the one you wanted to read. I found that annoying.
