The Meaning of It
All : Thoughts of a Citizen Scientist
by Richard Phillips Feynman
Amazon.com Review
 The Meaning of It All: Thoughts of a Citizen Scientist
collects three previously unpublished lectures by Richard Feynman, who is probably the
greatest popularizer of physics in this century. There's plenty of scientific illumination
here for the general reader, and more remarkably, some fantastic ruminations on the
relationships among science, religion, politics, and everyday life. Feynman is especially
sensitive to the relationships between scientific skepticism, faithful doubt, and
ideological flexibility. These lectures have been transcribed verbatim, so they sometimes
ramble and repeat themselves. But this slim volume has wisdom and wit on every page: it's
a truly erudite and edifying meditation on Dostoevsky's observation that "There lies
more faith in honest doubt, believe me, than in half the creeds." --Michael
