Innis. Anaixmander A Reassessment by Robert E. Innis The book "Anaximander A Reassessment" by Robert E. Innis is a thought-provoking work that challenges readers to reconsider their understanding of the development of modern knowledge and its impact on human society. The author presents a compelling argument that the traditional view of technological progress as a linear progression of innovation and improvement is overly simplistic and does not accurately reflect the complex and dynamic nature of technological evolution. Instead, Innis proposes a more nuanced approach to understanding technology's role in shaping our world, one that recognizes the cyclical and iterative nature of technological advancements. Innis begins by examining the life and ideas of Anaximander, a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher who is often credited with being the first scientist. Through a close reading of Anaximander's surviving fragments, Innis argues that his ideas about the origin of the universe and the nature of humans and animals offer valuable insights into the relationship between technology and society.
