«Érase una vez el zorro y el erizo» is Stephen Jay Gould's popular science essay, published by Booket in paperback (356 pp., Spanish).
Gould draws on the fable of the fox and the hedgehog to reflect on how the sciences and the humanities can enrich each other. The author, a biologist and paleontologist, argues that scientific rationality and humanistic creativity are not at odds and can converge toward a fuller wisdom, in a dialogue he considers essential for the third millennium.
This paperback edition belongs to the Drakontos Bolsillo collection, was published by Booket in 2010, and consists of 356 pages in Spanish.
Aimed at readers curious about science and culture, especially those who enjoy popular essays and the history of ideas.
Stephen Jay Gould was an American paleontologist, evolutionary biologist, historian of science, and one of the most widely read authors of popular science of his generation. He is considered by many to be one of the most influential figures in evolutionary biology. Gould spent most of his career teaching at Harvard University and working at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. In 1996, Gould was hired as the Vincent Astor Visiting Research Professor of Biology at New York University, after which he divided his time teaching between there and Harvard.
