Book Description

Both art and science attempt answers to the big questions: What is truth? How to be good? Where did we come from? But philosophy is the interpreter we use to verify it all. We need it to make Where did we come from? But philosophy is the interpreter we use to verify it all. We need it to make sense of the simplest math and the most esoteric poetry. It even has created a science of information itself. In this compilation of human knowledge, we begin our journey at the boundary of myth and reason and along the way visit the thoughts of the most high-flying of minds?Socrates, Descartes, Kant and others?who could see that nothing, not everchanging words, limitless numbers, or mystical visions, was beyond examination. Far from being the work of dead geniuses, philosophy remains at the heart of our battle to make sense of the quantum universe.
