What We Can Never Know by David Gamez
Contemporary philosophy and science strive to give a complete account of the world and our position in it. This book features a series of thought experiments that illustrate the limits of this mission. It also shows blindspots in many of our theories that completely undermine their ability to explain reality.
'A wonderfully imaginative and powerfully written defence of positive scepticism' Professor Simon Critchley - New School for Social Research, New York
"Drawing together several of the main streams of philosophical thought, the author offers much more than just an overview of various attempts to surpass the limits of our knowledge of ourselves and everything else." -David Braid, Philosophy Now, 2009
