    Extractions: The Thought of Jacob Bronowski in his Essays and in the Ascent of Man Joan M. Johnson The early1970’s brought to American television screens a highly unusual offering – a thirteen week series entitled the Ascent of Man , which explored the cultural evolution of mankind, centered around science. The series, produced by the British Broadcasting Company, was unusual in several respects. It marked one of the rare instances in which the television medium developed is full potential, artistic, imaginative and educational. Also, it pursued, in depth and breadth, subjects of vital concern to contemporary man – including the history of his development through biological and cultural evolution and his inescapable responsibility as guardian of the essential dignity of the individual in our unfolding scientific future. Above all, the series enabled many thousands of people to become acquainted with a versatile man, an intellectual star in his own right, who chose to share his optimistic vision, his wit, and his warmth on the intimate basis that television allows. Jacob Bronowski was a veritable Renaissance man of the type which he describes in Magic, Science, and Civilization

    Extractions: "It is said that science will dehumanise people and turn them into numbers. That is false, tragically false. Look for yourself. This is the concentration camp and crematorium at Auschwitz. This is where people were turned into numbers. Into this pond were flushed the ashes of some four million people. And that was not done by gas. It was done by arrogance. It was done by dogma. It was done by ignorance. When people believe that they have absolute knowledge, with no test in reality, this is how they behave. This is what men do when they aspire to the knowledge of gods. "Science is a very human form of knowledge. We are always at the brink of the known, we always feel forward for what is to be hoped. Every judgment in science stands on the edge of error, and is personal. Science is a tribute to what we can know although we are fallible. In the end the words were said by Oliver Cromwell: 'I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, think it possible you may be mistaken'. "I owe it,as a scientist to my friend Leo Szilard, I owe it as a human being to the many members of my family who died at Auschwitz, to stand here by the pond as a survivor and a witness. We have to cure ourselves of the itch for absolute knowledge and power. We have to close the distance between the push-button order and the human act. We have to touch people."

    Extractions: Thoughts on Creativity Jacob Bronowski What kind of "personality" does a scientist have to have to be "successful"? What is the essential tension and why does Kuhn believe it can be and is reconciled in order to produce advancements in science? How is education responsible for the predominance of divergent scientists in America and of convergent scientists in general? versus Consider the following interpretation by Jacob Bronowski, "The Creative Process," in S cientific Genius and Creativity , W.H. Freeman and Company, 1987 On p.3, Bronowski states, nonscientists would claim "Science . . . engages only part of the mind - the rational intellect - but creation must engage the whole mind. . . . Science demands none of that groundswell of emotion, none of that rich bottom of personality, which fills out the work of art. . . ." Bronowski takes exception: "This picture of the nonscientist of how a scientist works is of course mistaken. A gifted man (sic) cannot handle bacteria or equations without takng fire from what he does and having his emotions engaged." Emotions may be immature, as intellect may be immature in poets (re: Emma Wheller Wilcox), but the work of such a scientist will be "second-rate."

    Extractions: The Ascent of Man Jacob Bronowski [review of the 1973 television series narrated by Bronowski] High school history is little more than political history: not irrelevant but a sad omission of our intellectual heritage . Bronowski begins to make up for this negligence with a book based on his 13 part BBC series on the history of civilization and science. Having worked with the medium of television, he points out the advantages of the written word over visual images. The reader is exposed to more detail of evidence and can pause to reflect, whereas the viewer cannot. Of course, he said this in pre-VCR days, but the truth about detail still holds , and other scientist- broadcasters (i.e David Suzuki) who were initially enthusiastic about television now seriously question its power as an educational tool. While the counterculture was busy celebrating our links to the animal world, Bronowski looked at those gifts that allow us to stand out from the rest of the kingdom. Our ability to move our minds through space and time is taken for granted, and yet it is what has made our lives both more comfortable and more meaningful. And while the media focused on the corruption in society ( at the time of publication, there was the Vietnam War and Watergate ), Bronowski looked at major steps in its evolution: the transition from hunting and gathering to farming and eventually to building cities. Without the evolution of culture itself, man's potential would never have flowered.

50. Impressions Of Jacob Bronowski's Science And Human Values
    Science and Human Values by jacob bronowski. Finished reading 2/5/1997.I read this book for the first time about 10 years ago.  
    http://www.geocities.com/Athens/8994/read_002.html
    
    Extractions: Finished reading 2/5/1997. I read this book for the first time about 10 years ago. It's interesting, but not near so coherent as the last book I read, Objective Knowledge . It kinda carries on with some ideas that are embedded in another book he wrote, The Ascent of Man . I haven't read that one since high school, more than 17 years ago, but I hope to read it again some time. The book is composed of three chapters titled "The Creative Mind," "The Habit of Truth," and "The Sense of Human Dignity." In the first chapter, he, like C. P. Snow before him makes the case that scientists and artists are alike in that they both attempt to "find unity in variety." From the last paragraph of the chapter: "Science, like art, is not a copy of nature but a re-creation of her. We re-make nature by the act of discovery, in the poem or in the theorem. And the great poem and the deep theorem are new to every reader, and yet are his own experiences, because he himself re-creates them. They are the marks of unity itself; and in the instant when the mind seizes this for itself, in art or in science, the heart misses a beat." The second chapter tells us how important the search for truth is to science. It's best summarized in a quote from a guy named Clifford that he gives in the final chapter, but I'll let you read that for yourself. He also quotes Clifford about not just believing things without evidence because it makes society as a whole more gullible. I won't quote that either. However, I will say that it reminds of something I read in Russell's

    http://ronrecord.com/Quotes/bronowski.html
    
    Extractions: From the "Knowledge or Certainty", an episode from the 1973 BBC series "The Ascent of Man", transcribed by Evan Hunt: The Principle of Uncertainty is a bad name. In scienceor outside of itwe are not uncertain; our knowledge is merely confined, within a certain tolerance. We should call it the Principle of Tolerance. And I propose that name in two senses: First, in the engineering sensescience has progressed, step by step, the most successful enterprise in the ascent of man, because it has understood that the exchange of information between man and nature, and man and man, can only take place with a certain tolerance. But second, I also use the word, passionately, about the real world. All knowledgeall information between human beingscan only be exchanged within a play of tolerance. And that is true whether the exchange is in science, or in literature, or in religion, or in politics, or in *any* form of thought that aspires to dogma. It's a major tragedy of my lifetime and yours that scientists were refining, to the most exquisite precision, the Principle of Toleranceand turning their backs on the fact that all around them, tolerance was crashing to the ground beyond repair. The Principle of Uncertainty or, in my phrase, the Principle of Tolerance, fixed once for all the realization that all knowledge is limited. It is an irony of history that at the very time when this was being worked out there should rise, under Hitler in Germany and other tyrants elsewhere, a counter-conception: a principle of monstrous certainty. When the future looks back on the 1930s it will think of them as a crucial confrontation of culture as I have been expounding it, the ascent of man, against the throwback to the despots' belief that they have absolute certainty.

    Extractions: THE ASCENT OF MAN British Documentary Series Born in Poland in 1908, Jacob Bronowski belongs as much to the scattering of central Europe in the wake of pogroms, revolutions and nazism as he did to the easy learning and liberal and humane socialism of the post-war consensus in Britain. A mathematician turned biologist, with several literary critical works to his name, he was a clear choice to provide David Attenborough's BBC2 with the follow-up to the international success of Kenneth Clarke's Civilisation By Bronowski's testimony, work began on the program in 1969, though the 13-part series only arrived on screen in 1974. Intended as a digest of the history of science for general viewers, and to match the claims of the Clarke series, it actually ranged further afield than the eurocentric Civilisation , although Bronowski retained a rather odd dismissal of pre-Colombian science and technology in the New World. The series faced, however, perhaps a greater challenge than its predecessor, in that the conceptual apparatus of science is less obviously telegenic than the achievements of culture. Nonetheless, the device of the "personal view" which underpinned BBC2's series of televisual essays gave the ostensibly dry materials a human warmth that allied them successfully with the presenter-led documentaries already familiar on British screens.

    http://www.ediacara.org/2lot.html
    
    Extractions: by Jacob Bronowski (from "Evolution Extended", Connie Barlow, ed., MIT Press, 1994) It is often said that the progression from simple to complex runs counter to the normal statistics of chance that are formalized in the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Strictly speaking, we could avoid this criticism simply by insisting that the Second Law does not apply to living systems in the environment in which we find them. For the Second Law applies only when there is no overall flow of energy into or out of a system, whereas all living systems are sustained by a net inflow of energy. But though this reply has a formal finality, in my view it evades the underlying question that is being asked. True, life could not have evolved in the absence of a steady stream of energy from the sun a kind of energy wind on the earth. But if there were no more to the mechanism of molecular evolution than this, we should still be at a loss to understand how more and more complex molecules cam to establish themselves. All the energy wind can do, in itself, is to increase the range and frequency of variation around the average state: that is, to stimulate the formation of more complex molecular arrangements. But most of these variant arrangements fall back to the norm almost at once, by the usual thermodynamic processes of degradation; so that it remains to be explained why they do not all do so, and how instead some complex arrangements establish themselves, and become the base for further complexity in their turn.
