'Grayling brings satisfying order to daunting subjects' Steven
Pinker _________________________ In very recent times humanity has
learnt a vast amount about the universe, the past, and itself. But
through our remarkable successes in acquiring knowledge we have
learned how much we have yet to learn: the science we have, for
example, addresses just 5 per cent of the universe; pre-history is
still being revealed, with thousands of historical sites yet to be
explored; and the new neurosciences of mind and brain are just
beginning. What do we know, and how do we know it? What do we now
know that we don't know? And what have we learnt about the
obstacles to knowing more? In a time of deepening battles over what
knowledge and truth mean, these questions matter more than ever.
Bestselling polymath and philosopher A. C. Grayling seeks to answer
them in three crucial areas at the frontiers of knowledge: science,
history and psychology. A remarkable history of science, life on
earth, and the human mind itself, this is a compelling and
fascinating tour de force, written with verve, clarity and
remarkable breadth of knowledge. _________________________
'Remarkable, readable and authoritative. How he has mastered so
much, so thoroughly, is nothing short of amazing' Lawrence M.
Krauss, author of A Universe from Nothing 'This book hums with the
excitement of the great human project of discovery' Adam Zeman,
author of Aphantasia
