Berlinski is an awful writer. I read two of his books; both were poorly written and uninformative.
Duplicate thread.
From a Mathematical Reviews comment about another of Berlinski's books (Newton's gift): "But what is said of Newton's mathematics has only a weak connection with Newton's texts."

Berlinski is an awful writer. I read two of his books; both were poorly written and uninformative. Maybe I had him confused with Dembski, that other -ski ID info-theory writer, who has his own problems. But Dembski is better than this. This is awful.
