The New York Times bestseller: A provocative; imaginative exploration of the nature and progress of knowledgeIn this groundbreaking book; award-winning physicist David Deutsch argues that explanations have a fundamental place in the universe—and that improving them is the basic regulating principle of all successful human endeavor. Taking us on a journey through every fundamental field of science; as well as the history of civilization; art; moral values; and the theory of political institutions; Deutsch tracks how we form new explanations and drop bad ones; explaining the conditions under which progress—which he argues is potentially boundless—can and cannot happen. Hugely ambitious and highly original; The Beginning of Infinity explores and establishes deep connections between the laws of nature; the human condition; knowledge; and the possibility for progress.
