Looking closely at the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries, Ball vividly brings to life the age when modern science began, a time that spans the lives of Galileo and Isaac Newton. In this entertaining and illuminating account of the rise of science as we know it, Ball tells of scientists both legendary and lesser known, from Copernicus and Kepler to Robert Boyle, as well as the inventions and technologies that were inspired by curiosity itself, such as the telescope and the microscope. The so-called Scientific Revolution is often told as a story of great geniuses illuminating the world with flashes of inspiration. But Curiosity reveals a more complex story, in which the liberation--and subsequent taming--of curiosity was linked to magic, religion, literature, travel, trade, and empire. Ball also asks what has become of curiosity today: how it functions in science, how it is spun and packaged for consumption, how well it is being sustained, and how the changing shape of science influences the kinds of questions it may continue to ask.

For a long time I have wished to demonstrate, by using a case in treatment, how an analysis unfolds. However, when I set myself to work, I found that this is an almost impossible undertaking as the presentation of the full analysis of a case would require an excessive amount of time. Nevertheless, I should like you to take at least a brief look into the psychoanalytic workshop: I shall try to show, by means of a fragment of an analysis, how a theoretical understanding of certain problems gradually evolves. Even from such an abridged proceeding one can learn how complicated an analysis is, how intricate psychic processes are, and how cautious one should be in his theoretical conclusions. Thus we hope from the investigation of this patient's main symptom, curiosity, to be able to reach some conclusions about the normal development and function of this phenomenon. Briefly, the purpose of this paper is twofold: to give an idea of analytic procedure as well as to show the metamorphosis and the meaning of curiosity.
