Descripción
Sumario:"Only a wayfarer born under unruly stars would attempt to put into practice in our epoch of proliferating knowledge the Heraclitean dictum that `men who love wisdom must be inquirers into very many things indeed.'"

Fraser does offer "many things indeed"--an enormous range of ideas about matter, life, death, evolution, and value.
