'Many complex systemsfrom immensely complicated ecosystems to minute assemblages of moleculessurprise us with their simple behavior. Consider, for instance, the snowflake, in which a great number of water molecules arrange themselves in patterns with six-way symmetry. How is it that molecules moving seemingly at random become organized according to the simple, six-fold rule? How do the comings, goings, meetings, and eatings of individual animals add up to the simple dynamics of ecosystem populations? More generally, how does complex and seemingly capricious microbehavior generate stable, predictable macrobehavior? In this book, Michael Strevens aims to explain how simplicity can coexist with, indeed be caused by, the tangled interconnections between a complex system's many parts. At the center of Strevens's explanation is the notion of probability and, more particularly, probabilistic independence. By examining the foundations of statistical reasoning about complex systems such as gases, ecosystems, and certain social systems, Strevens provides an understanding of how simplicity emerges from complexity. Along the way, he draws lessons concerning the low-level explanation of high-level phenomena and the basis for introducing probabilistic concepts into physical theory' (Harvard University Press Web site).

Brosssura Editoriale. Condition: Nuovo. Traduzione di Frediani S. Torino, 2021; br., pp. 368, ill., cm 13,5x21. (Piccola Biblioteca Einaudi. Big). È solo negli ultimi tre secoli che la formidabile macchina per la creazione di conoscenza che chiamiamo scienza moderna ha trasformato il nostro modo di vivere e la nostra visione dell'universo, ben duemila anni dopo l'invenzione della legge, della filosofia, del teatro e della matematica. Perché abbiamo impiegato così tanto tempo a inventare la scienza? E perché è così potente? La macchina della conoscenza offre una risposta radicale, mostrando come la scienza inviti da sempre gli scienziati a fare qualcosa di apparentemente irrazionale: devono spogliarsi di tutte le conoscenze precedenti - come convinzioni teologiche, metafisiche o politiche - per poi indirizzare tutte le loro energie nell'osservazione e nella sperimentazione, abbracciando dunque un metodo di ricerca irragionevolmente circoscritto e ben delimitato, ma che dai tempi di Newton e Bacone è la vera forza del successo della scienza. In un'epoca di cambiamenti climatici, nuove malattie e tecnologie in vertiginoso progresso, secondo Strevens abbiamo più che mai la necessità di cogliere il funzionamento interno della nostra macchina della conoscenza. «Un'indagine elegante e accessibile sulla natura del metodo scientifico». Nigel Warburton «Come nel caso de La struttura delle rivoluzioni scientifiche di Kuhn, la concisione e la semplicità di questo testo non possono nascondere l'audacia della sua concezione, la straordinaria portata della sua ambizione. È un libro molto importante, forse addirittura un grande libro». David Wootton.
