Re: WOW!!!
FatM...
by "divulges" maybe you meant "vulgarize", ie to put complex matter into simple terms for the general public to understand? Well, when I was young, the vulgarisations by Asimov (he didn't write only fiction!), Bronowski (The Ascent of Man) and Sagan (Cosmos) did inspire me to ask questions and seek answers for those interesting questions of science... Had they used complex words, I would have lost interest. In vulgarisation, one must make compromises to simplify. Later in my life, THEN I could get into Popper, Lakatos, Feyeraband... well, almost... These authors would be too much for me when I was 16! |
