MP3 | 3 hours | English | 145 MB | 32 kbp/s | Audio Renaissance; (Sep 15, 1990)


A note by the publisher:

I've done great work in cutting this book by chapters - somewhere else on the web you can find only a lumped version.


This book corresponds to a famous BBC documentary of the same name - but the audio version is abridged.

The book's primary focus is on the effect of advances in science and technology on western philosophy. The title comes from the philosophical idea that the universe essentially only exists as you perceive it through what you know; therefore, if you change your perception of the universe with new knowledge, you have essentially changed the universe itself.

Chapters included in the audio:

1. The Way We Are: It Started with the Greeks
2. In the Light of the Above: Medieval Conflict - Faith & Reason
3. Point of View: Scientific Imagination in the Renaissance
4. Infinitely Reasonable: Science Revises the Heavens
5. Fit to Rule: Darwin's Revolution
6. Making Waves: The New Physics - Newton Revised
7. Worlds Without End: Changing Knowledge, Changing Reality

The textbook is chaptered. Enjoy!
