Circularity The Story Of An Illusionist [Hardcover]

This is a study of a Janus-faced conceptual structure, that on one hand led to deep scientific discoveries, and on the other hand is used to trick the mind into believing the impossible. It is called circularity, and it has many manifestations. In this volume, we describe both the scientific revolutions that it bred, and the perplexities it has caused in the last two and a half millennia.
