Description
In this agenda-setting book for thinkers, Davide Lo Vetere leads us on an extraordinary journey to explore our metaphysical intuition of reality, and lays down the foundations of a unifying style of reasoning that reconciles the rational, intuitive and mystical aspects of the human experience with profound and far-reaching consequences for practically every human enterprise. In a series of mind-boggling thought experiments, Lo Vetere shows with dazzling clarity the invisible structure of abstract thought, by decoding the organizing principles that operate when we imagine, create and explain concepts, and invites us to rewire ourselves with radical and deeply unintuitive ideas about the meaning of the terms knowledge, comprehension, objectivity, meaning, explanation, information, communication, computation and consciousness. Davide Lo Vetere is an Italian author and futurist focusing on the frontiers of human intelligence, culture and society, and on the rediscovery of human nature. He has introduced the concept of Authenticity as the essential catalyst in the evolution of humanity, and is using it to define new standards of intellectual, social and spiritual progress. He is the proponent of Interaction Theory, a new theory of knowledge based on mathematical models of consciousness that generalizes modern rational thought, its methods of inquiry, and our understanding of reality, with profound implications for the way we define and advance science, education and communications. He holds a BS/MS in Information Engineering from the University of Padua, Italy, and lives in Dublin, Ireland.
