Annotation
Designed for humanities students, this follow-up to the course "Roots of Modern Physics and Astronomy I." is concerned with the transformations in scientific knowledge from the classical Greek tradition to quantum optics. A combination of lectures and excursions to the Ondřejov observatory and to the Academy of Science of the Czech Republic, it introduces a wide range of issues, such as paradigm shifts in physics, the relationship between mathematics and physics, the distance from the natural world, experiment and theory.
