  • Resumen

  • David Deutsch's book The Beginning of Infinity, explores the nature of knowledge and its role in human progress. The text argues that knowledge is not merely a collection of facts or observations but is instead a product of conjecture and criticism, where explanations are the driving force behind scientific discoveries. Deutsch critiques inductivism and emphasizes the importance of good explanations – explanations that are hard to vary without compromising their accuracy. He also challenges the misconception that human beings hold a privileged place in the universe, highlighting the importance of fallibilism and the inherent potential for human knowledge to grow indefinitely. Further, the text explores the concept of the multiverse and how quantum interference reveals the reality of multiple universes. Throughout, Deutsch argues that knowledge, particularly through its embodiment in technology, holds the key to human progress, allowing for the solution of problems and the overcoming of limitations inherent in the physical world.
