PROFESSOR EMERITUS OPENS A REVOLUTIONARY DISCOURSE ON NATURAL CONTINUUM AND ANTHROPOCENTRISM IN SCIENCE
Retired Professor Harold Toliver challenges the traditional philosophical notions in science, offering an unfiltered context on the study of the universe
Distinguished scholar and emeritus professor, Harold Toliver, redefines the conventional boundaries of philosophical and scientific dialogue in his groundbreaking book, “Scanning and Sizing the Universe and Everything in It: Playing Scales.” Unveiling the fundamental limitations of anthropocentric viewpoints, Toliver introduces a unique perspective on the expansiveness of the natural world and its influence on the understanding of the universe.
Looking into years of scholarly discourse and pointing out a crucial gap in modern philosophy, primarily within the philosophy of science—the tendency to disregard the broad scale of the natural continuum and substitute it with human-centered standpoints—this work presents an innovative scoring system. The resulting framework reinvents everyday circumstances, geographical areas, and topography, including the Earth within the greater picture of the complete atomic matter and its gradual evolution.
“Beautifully phrased, fully contextualized, and diligently sourced,” Michael Radon of the US Review of Books describes the piece in his critique. He commends the book for its seamless progression, noting the author’s deftness in bringing each chapter with a concise overview of the argument before delving into its justifications. This ensures a coherent and easily understandable reading experience for audiences.
A seasoned academician and celebrater author, Harold Toliver served in regarded professorial positions at prestigious institutions including Johns Hopkins, the University of Washington, Ohio State University, and the University of California. Following a fulfilling tenure as a professor of English, American, and Comparative Literature, Toliver set off on a post-retirement adventure dedicated to exploring interdisciplinary studies that bridge the disparities between the humanities and sciences, leading to the creation of his latest masterpiece.
