Buy now to get the key takeaways from David Deutsch's The Beginning of Infinity.
Key Takeaways:
1) The theory of empiricism states that all knowledge is gained through sensory experience. However, appearances can be deceiving. We tend to make judgments about the world around us, not realizing how flawed our perceptions actually are. Thus, empiricism is misleading.
2) The truth is that the knowledge we gain throughout our lives doesn't rely solely on experience. After all, we are constantly forming theories and making assertions about realities that exist far beyond our perception and about the laws that govern those realities.
