Taking us on a journey through every fundamental field of science, as well as the history of civilization, art, moral values, and the theory of political institutions, Deutsch tracks how we form new explanations and drop bad ones, explaining the conditions under which progress—which he argues is potentially boundless—can and cannot happen. Hugely ambitious and highly original, The Beginning of Infinity explores and establishes deep connections between the laws of nature, the human condition, knowledge, and the possibility for progress. n A New York Times bestseller n David Deutsch was recently profiled in The New Yorker n Deutsch’s previous book, The Fabric of Reality, is now in its 16th printing dAvid deutsCh is a fellow of the Royal Society and a professor of physics at the University of Oxford. A pioneer in the field of quantum computation, he is a recipient of the Institute of Physics’ Paul Dirac Prize and Medal.
