I just found my newest hero (aside form various others I admire as well)!
Of course none of the poeple who I admire are mainstream celebrities but are rather different from other rolemodels. His William R. Newman, I found out about him when I borrowed a book form the library moths ago (I still haven't given the book back and it's late on top of it). His books is called "Promethean Ambitions": In this specific volume he analyses various entrepeneurs in the alchemical field while disucssing it alongside the nature vs. artificial argument. He comes into the discussion in a philosophical, aproach and the book is considered as a science/history theme.
Aside form these spectrume, Newman also discusses medival philosophy, alchemy, the relationship of science and art...and much more. On top of this he published many book, graduated form harvard and his an awsome professor. Now I just want to purchase all of his books....too bad I am broke.
Here are some sites assoiated with him...
