Description
The Beginning of Infinity is a bold and all-embracing exploration of the nature and progress of knowledge. David Deutsch argues that explanations have a fundamental place in the universe, with unlimited scope and power to cause change. This stream of ever-improving explanations has infinite reach, according to Deutsch, and is the basic regulating principle of science and all successful human endeavor.
In this book, Deutsch applies his worldview to a wide range of issues and unsolved problems, from creativity and free will to the origin and future of the human species. He draws on his previous work, The Fabric of Reality, to reveal a unified fabric of reality, and presents startling new conclusions about human choice, optimism, scientific explanation, and the evolution of culture.
With its groundbreaking ideas and fresh perspectives, The Beginning of Infinity is a thought-provoking book that will appeal to anyone interested in the nature of knowledge and its role in shaping our world.
