«Understanding the Present: Science and the Soul of Modern Man», by Bryan Appleyard, is an essay in paperback, 288 pages in English, published by Picador.
It starts from an analysis of the growth of science to make the great questions of our time comprehensible. It covers areas such as culture, philosophy and politics, and is structured in five sections: facts, analysis, connections, perceptions and thesis, with the aim of rethinking the role of science in human experience.
The work was originally published in 1992 as «Understanding the Present: An Alternative History of Science»; the present edition is from 1993.
