| Summary/Abstract |
Bronowski's book is dedicated to the identity of acts of creativity and of imagination, whether in Blake or Yeats or Heisenberg. According to Bronowski, our account of the world is dictated by our biology; by how we receive and translate our experience of the world so that we achieve knowledge. He examines the mechanics of our perception; the origin and nature of natural language; formal systems and scientific discourse; and how science, as a systematic attempt to establish closed systems one after another, progresses by exploring its own errors and new but unforeseen connections.
