A person is characterized by a craving for knowledge, but everything that is available to our observations is only a tiny part of the world around him. In the book “Island of Knowledge”, physicist Marcel Glazer tells how we were looking for answers to the most fundamental questions about the meaning of our existence. At the same time, he comes to the provocative conclusion: science, our main tool of cognition, has insurmountable restrictions.
Having set out the dramatic history of the human desire to understand everything, the book “Island of Knowledge” offers an exceptionally original interpretation of the ideas of many greatest thinkers, from Plato to Einstein, tells how their searches affect us today. The authoritative and encyclopedic history of meaning and knowledge, told in this book, tells what “to be a person” is in the universe full of secrets
