The Beginning of Infinity explores the unlimited scope and power of the big issues that inform our understanding of how the physical world works. It looks at the philosophy of science from an uncompromising perspective and reaches startling new conclusions about the nature of human choice, scientific explanation and the evolution of culture. The Beginning of Infinity opens a door to a whole new way of thinking about free will, creativity, the laws of nature, the origin and future of our species, reality and beyond - and reveals that all these things have a fundamental place in our universe. And at the centre, their sole creators - human beings - are the most significant entitites in the cosmic scheme of things. Everything - not only science and mathematics but morality, politics and aesthetics - is within the reach of reason. In this bold, uncompromising and all-embracing intellectual exploration, David Deutsch shows us that within the universal laws of physics, there are no limits to progress.
