Excellent book which attempts to bring back Wisdom to the centre of science.
For me there is a fundamental problem with science of today, it is too
structured and somehow the faculty of wisdom has failed to formalize in this a
very finely defined domain. No wonder the world has not seen a modern version
of a Socrates or Pluto. or maybe we have already defined everything we ought
to know about wisdom and now suffering from exposure to strings of wise
cliches? A bit like self help books? The book is very important link in which
the author tries to bring wisdom back into the main fold of science. But
unfortunately he cannot do enough justice to the task he set himself as
routinely he has to resort to stories and anecdotes to explain complex issues
with wisdom. I think he will fail to see this book on the shelves along with
great works of science which is indeed a state of shame.
