In times like these, when the deep unity of science and philosophy is under attack from various quarters, we need books like the one. This is a crystal-clear demonstration that the unity is indeed real and important and that the Enlightenment project is alive and well. -- Milan M. Cirkovic, Astronomical Observatory of Belgrade At a time when science faces sharp challenges to its authority and philosophy faces fierce attacks on its relevance, Nicolaides makes a powerful, historically-grounded case for their interdependence. In Search of a Theory of Everything shows how millennia-old philosophical questions sit at the very heart of what makes modern science. -- Joseph D. Martin, Durham University Demetris Nicolaides is to be congratulated for this fascinating book that presents profound and surprising links between the ideas of Greek philosophers of antiquity and the theories of contemporary physicists in their common quest to understand the cosmos and grasp its ultimate principles. I found the many and profound resemblances between contemporary science and ancient thought striking. -- Richard McKirahan, Pomona College The ideas of major Greek philosophers from classical antiquity pertaining to modern physics are examined in themselves and within the context of the current scientific understanding of nature in an engaging and lively exploration of the links between them. -- Walter Polkosnik, City University of New York
