This chapter provides an overview of Anderson’s career and contrasts his speciality, the physics of the very many (solid-state physics), with the areas of physics that tend to appear in popular media—the physics of the very small (particle physic

Anderson’s parents come from academic families in Indiana. Phil and his sister Grace grew up in Urbana, Illinois because their father was a plant pathologist at the University of Illinois (UI). Mother Elsie demanded academic excellence and respect

This chapter is an exploration of Anderson’s philosophy of science based on the contents of his article in a British newspaper, “Four Facts Everyone Ought to Know about Science.” These are: (1) science is not democratic; (2) computers will not

Anderson was one of the first scientists to publicly challenge the claim by particle physicists that they deserved the lion’s share of federal funds for accelerators because their work was the most ‘fundamental’. Anderson’s 1972 article “Mo

A formal request by the theorists produces a stand-alone Solid-State Theory Group at Bell Labs. A summer visitor program leads several visiting theorists to conclude that localization occurred in Feher’s samples due to an electrostatic mechanism su

Anderson chooses a job at Washington State College over a boring-sounding job at Westinghouse. Van Vleck intervenes to arrange an interview with William Shockley at Bell Telephone Laboratories. Anderson declines Washington and accepts a job offer fro

Anderson’s activities after age 85 are changed fundamentally by a stroke suffered by his wife Joyce. This brings him close to his daughter Susan for the first time. John Maynard Keynes is offered as a similar figure in intellectual history. A caree
