Recenzje

The book has plenty to recommend it: broadness of vision and ambition-he covers a lot of ground (both scientific and philosophical)-as well as a wealth of examples (several original, all worked out in detail)... My overall assessment is that this is a substantial book well worth studying. It will elicit interesting debates in the years to come.
