Ostrov znaniy. Predely dosyagaemosti bolshoy nauki
Humans have a thirst for knowledge, but everything that is available to our observations is only a tiny part of the world around us. In The Island of Knowledge, physicist Marcelo Glaser tells how we have been looking for answers to the most fundamental questions about the meaning of our existence. In doing so, he comes to the provocative conclusion that science, our main tool of knowledge, has insurmountable limitations. Recounting the dramatic history of the human quest to understand everything, The Island of Knowledge offers a highly original interpretation of the ideas of many of the greatest thinkers, from Plato to Einstein, and tells how their quest affects us today. An authoritative and encyclopedic story of meaning and knowledge, this book tells what it is like to be human in a universe full of mysteries.
