This exploration of the scientific limits of knowledge challenges our deep-seated beliefs about our universe, our rationality, and ourselves. “A must-read for anyone studying information science.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review Many books explain what is known about the universe. This book investigates what cannot be known. Rather than exploring the amazing facts that science, mathematics, and reason have revealed to us, this work studies what science, mathematics, and reason tell us cannot be revealed. In The Outer Limits of Reason, Noson Yanofsky considers what cannot be predicted, described, or known, and what will never be understood. He discusses the limitations of computers, physics, logic, and our own intuitions about the world—including our ideas about space, time, and motion, and the complex relationship between the knower and the known. Yanofsky describes simple tasks that would take computers trillions of centuries to complete and other problems that computers can never solve: • perfectly formed English sentences that make no sense • different levels of infinity • the bizarre world of the quantum • the relevance of relativity theory • the causes of chaos theory • math problems that cannot be solved by normal means • statements that are true but cannot be proven Moving from the concrete to the abstract, from problems of everyday language to straightforward philosophical questions to the formalities of physics and mathematics, Yanofsky demonstrates a myriad of unsolvable problems and paradoxes. Exploring the various limitations of our knowledge, he shows that many of these limitations have a similar pattern and that by investigating these patterns, we can better understand the structure and limitations of reason itself. Yanofsky even attempts to look beyond the borders of reason to see what, if anything, is out there.

In this thought-provoking and intellectually stimulating book, we embark on a journey to unravel the tapestry of reason, exploring the hidden truths and profound mysteries that lie beneath the surface of our understanding. Through a series of insightful chapters, we delve into the depths of logic and rationality, examining the foundations of our knowledge and the limits of our comprehension. We question the nature of truth and reality, seeking to pierce the veil of illusion and glimpse the true essence of things. We grapple with the enigma of time and the mystery of consciousness, seeking to understand the nature of our existence and the purpose of our being. We explore the symphony of life, marveling at the diversity and interconnectedness of all living things. Along the way, we encounter paradoxes and contradictions, challenges to our beliefs and assumptions. We confront the limits of our perception and the fallibility of our senses. We discover that the tapestry of reason is not a static structure, but a dynamic and ever-changing work of art, constantly evolving and revealing new insights and perspectives. Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book is an invitation to think deeply about the nature of reality, the limits of our knowledge, and the meaning of our existence. It is a book that will challenge your assumptions, expand your horizons, and leave you with a profound sense of wonder and awe. This book is perfect for readers who are interested in philosophy, science, and the nature of reality. It is also a valuable resource for students, educators, and anyone who seeks to deepen their understanding of the world around them. If you like this book, write a review!

The twenty-first century so far has seen the global rise of authoritarian populism, systematic racism, and dogmatic metaphysics. Even though these events demonstrate the growth of an age of 'unreason', in this original and compelling book John Roberts resists the assumption that such thinking displays an unthinking irrationality or loss of reason; instead he asserts that an important feature of modern reactionary politics is that it offers a supposedly convincing integration of the particular and the universal. This move is defined by what Roberts calls the 'reasoning of unreason' and has deep roots in the history of Western thought and politics. Tracing the dark history of enlightenment-disenlightenment, John Roberts explores 'the reasoning of unreason' across centuries from Aquinas, William of Ockham, the most important treatise on witchcraft Malleus Maleficarum, Locke, Kant, and Count Arthur de Gobineau, to Social Darwinism, Nazism, Carl Schmitt, Leo Strauss, and Friedrich von Hayek. Roberts provides a new set of philosophical-political tools to understand the formation and denigration of the rational subject and the current reinvestment in various forms of political unreason globally. The Reasoning of Unreason is the first book to draw on the philosophy of reason, political philosophy, political theory and political history, in order to produce a dialectical account of the 'making of reason' internal to the forces of unreason and the limits of reason.

WHAT MAKES A TERRORIST? HOW DOES ATROCIOUS MADNESS DEVELOP?WHAT TURNS A HUMAN BEING INTO A MONSTER-BEAST?Some answers to these questions lie in the human proclivity to worship the finite, to project and serve idols . . . and thus to bring destruction to the idolaters and to others.The psychological-philosophical-theological dynamics of idol formation and idol worship are worked out in Light in the Labyrinth.
