Katz, Michael Jay
Socrates in October

Dialogues on Incondensable Complexity.

Socrates could not blithely speak in the language of modern science - using space-time continua or four dimensions or relativistic frames of reference or genetic codes to hide innumerable elemental assumptions about the nature of human understanding. Michael Katz has taken advantage of Socrates' world - his style, his perspective, his times, and some of his important themes - to explore the perpetual problem of complexity: Is our world incondensably complex? If so - where and why? And, what does this mean for the kinds of understandings with which we must be satisfied? XI,215 Seiten, gebunden (American University Studies.
