Description
Thermodynamics and philosophy come together in this groundbreaking work. Nobel Laureate Ilya Prigogine and philosopher Isabelle Stengers offer a new synthesis of order and chaos, challenging modern scientific knowledge. Their ambitious account explores the philosophical implications of thermodynamics, bringing contradictory philosophies into a novel dialogue. First published in France in 1978, this book has sparked debate among physicists, philosophers, literary critics, and historians. This thought-provoking work is a sweeping critique of the discordant landscape of modern scientific knowledge, offering an exciting and accessible account of the intersection of science and philosophy.
