Synopsis

The world can sometimes feel like a gigantic attic space where the belongings of several generations have piled up and been stored. It is virtually impossible to find your way around it. That’s why you have art, philosophy and natural science: to create an overview of the big storage space of the universe.

Biologist, Johan Olsen, and Professor of Philosophy, Vincent F. Hendricks have joined forces in this book to attempt to answer questions about e.g. climate, trust, love, errors, the sky and knowledge – and of course also the classic question: “Who am I?”. Some of the answers are relatively easy, others are not, but that’s because even the simplest questions still create an infinite head rack for researchers.

Yes, and you will also learn how big infinity is in the book.

Brilliantly illustrated by Rikke Bisgaard.
