    “The printed book has one added freedom beyond this: it is not remorselessly bound to the forward direction of time, as any spoken discourse is.”

    In the latest episode of “A Leap of Doubt” podcast, I talk with about the life & ideas of Jacob Bronowski—including some of his deeper ideas about knowledge & ethics.

    “Four Poems” was originally part of a novel Bronowski wrote with his then-girlfriend Eirlys Roberts. That book was never published. It was a sort of time travel story that compared the Spanish civil War with the Peloponnesian War.

    The war, Bronowski said later, “showed simply that the world laughed at the revolutionary parties, laughed at liberalism.”

    Bronowski, like many poets in the 30s, was excited at the possibilities of the Spanish Civil War—only to feel deeply the communist betrayal. His “Spain 1939: Four Poems,” now a rare pamphlet, comments on the tragedies.

    Parkinson devoted more than an hour today in 1976 to the full version of a 1973 interview with The Ascent Of Man's Dr Jakob Bronowski, in tribute after his death, um, seventeen months earlier.

    Both indeed were poets. Bronowski’s great model for science communication, by the way—& a profound philosophical influence on him—was William Kingdon Clifford (1845-1879).

    'The notion that a man shall judge for himself what he is told, sifting the evidence and weighing the conclusions, is of course implicit in the outlook of science. But it begins before that as a positive and active constituent of humanism.' Our patron, the late Jacob Bronowski.

    I was feeling bad for forgetting to tweet on Bronowski’s birthday, but—it actually wasn’t his birthday. Bronowski wasn’t born Jan 18, 1908, but a couple months before that.

    Timothy Sandefur’s biographical portrait of the popular science icon Jacob Bronowski is the closest any of us now can get to one of the great humanistic minds of the previous century. via

    I am SO HONOURED to be giving the Lisa Jardine memorial lecture I owe Lisa so much & I adored her. I think she would like the topic & I shall crack out some of the killer heels she bequeathed me.

    This was written by the brilliant Jacob Bronowski, in “The Ascent of Man”....we never seem to learn that empathy is important to our very survival as a species.

    On this day 98 years ago, a 14 yr. old boy, Leonard Thompson, dying of diabetes (he weighed 65 lb), was given the first injection of insulin. It saved his life; he lived 13 more years. The before & after pix of his insulin treatment are below. A great achievement of our species.

    Einstein helped give birth to the Manhattan Project because he was afraid the Germans would develop atomic bombs first, so he actually literally did simultaneously do those two things.
