The book covers the rise of science from the Greeks to the followers of Bacon and Descartes. It argues that philosophy and science were interwoven until the 20th century with the certainties of the Baconian programme giving rise to the study of thermodynamics and the enlightenment. The advent of the concept of entropy and the discoveries of quantum mechanics have undermined the old certainties and left philosophy behind. We now live in a world where we see uncertainty as a governing principle.
