About this listen
This is a book that deals with what an ignorant person can say about his own ignorance, a text whose purpose is to re-know it. Man is the only animal that is ignorant, while the rest give the impression of knowing everything they need for the development of their lives, the human being knows his profound ignorance about what interests him most: the very meaning of his life.
I have never seen a dog looking at the stars, but man can become aware of his infinite fields of ignorance by contemplating the sky. Man is free precisely thanks to his ignorance because if he knew everything he would also constantly know the consequences of all his actions and would always choose without margin for error, but also without being able to do something different from what is predetermined. Man's main field of ignorance is, therefore, his own future.
The exploration of the unthinkable Universe and of the foundations of the philosophy of ignorance ( Rescher, N. ; Firestein, S.), which the reader will find in these pages, has been built largely on the foundations of this approach to the "knowledge of knowledge", which can be found in Immanuel Kant's (Critique of Pure Reason), Schopenhauer ( The World as Will and Representation) , Ortega y Gasset (Leibniz's Idea of Principle and the Evolution of Deductive Theory) and also in its development by Karl Popper ( The Logic of Scientific Inquiry, Conjectures and Refutations and The Open Society and its Enemies) ,Bertrand Russell ( Problems of Philosophy) and Wittgenstein ( Tractatus Logico philosophicus).
These theories have been related to the current astrophysical cosmovision of the universe as explained in the works of Hawkins; Haldane, Rees, Randal, Pagels, Lamberti; Krauss; Hapern, Smolin, Boncinelli, Yourgrau, Feynman, Richard, Xuan Thuan; and Aczel. Another source for this text can be found in the works of Ridley, Dawkins , and Damasio.
