In this collection of lectures that Richard Feynman originally gave in 1963, unpublished during his lifetime, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist discusses several of the ultimate questions of science. What is the nature of the tension between science and religious faith? Why does uncertainty play such a crucial role in the scientific imagination? Is this really a scientific age?

Marked by Feynman's characteristic combination of rationality and humor, these lectures provide an intimate glimpse at the man behind the legend. He says at the start of his final lecture, "I dedicate this lecture to showing what ridiculous conclusions and rare statements such a man as myself can make." Rare, perhaps, and irreverent, sure. But ridiculous? Not even close.

If there was a coherent purpose to these lectures I failed to see it. He doesnt like religion and the Russians and thinks he is smarter than most of his colleagues was the only message I walked away with.

Ramblings of an intelligent man.

a modern philosophy from the perspective of one of History scientific geniuses! I recommend this reading for anyone looking to diversify their perspective on the subjects of science religion and politics.

intriguing philosophy

Just OK, nothing that deep, interesring, or especially thought-provoking. Not worth a credit, ok as a free listen sped up to at least 1.5x or so.

Meh

It was a great perspective on the mindset and temperament nesesary to scientific and reasonable thinking. It shows the thought process needed to conduct experiments and other thought of Feynman
