«La ciencia de Leonardo» is Fritjof Capra's essay on Leonardo da Vinci's scientific thought, published in hardback (396 pages, in Spanish).
Fritjof Capra champions Leonardo da Vinci's scientific side and analyses his writings, drawings and inventions as a coherent project of understanding nature. The essay interweaves the life of the Renaissance painter with his research, showing that his observations prefigure the scientific method and anticipate an ecological and organic vision of the world, far from mechanism.
Work originally published in English as The Science of Leonardo: Inside the Mind of the Great Genius of the Renaissance (2007); the Spanish edition is from 2008.
For readers interested in the history of science, art and the Renaissance, and in the figure of Leonardo da Vinci.
