About this product
Product Information
J. Bronowski was a distinguished mathematician and a poet, a philosopher of science and a literary critic who wrote a well-known study of William Blake. This book, as topical today as it was when it first appeared, articulates and develops Bronowski's provocative idea that the sciences and the arts fundamentally share the same imaginative vision.
