Philosophy

An Illustrated History of Thought

What a wonderful world it would be if every one of us came of age with a profound understanding of the natural sciences, mathematics, and philosophy. Imagine how different the politics of climate change and evolution might be. So we can only dream of a day when every fourteen-year-old spends an hour at bedtime immersed in any one of the five stellar books in the illustrated Ponderables series—exploring “100 Ideas that Changed History” in physics, astronomy, mathematics, the periodic table, and philosophy. The Brain, number six in the series, will be released in the fall.
