'Circularity' is the story of a Janus-faced conceptual structure,
that on the one hand led to deep scientific discoveries, and on the
other hand is used to trick the mind into believing the impossible.
Alongside mathematical revolutions that eventually led to the
invention of the computer, the book describes ancient paradoxes
that arise from circular thinking. Another aspect of circularity,
its ability to entertain, leads to a surprising insight on the time
old question 'What is humor'. The book presents the ubiquity of
circularity in many fields, and its power to confuse and to
instruct.See Press Release: Vicious circles -- confusing,
