Showing results for "Limit" in Epistemology

How much can we know about the world? In this audiobook physicist Marcelo Gleiser traces our search for answers to the most fundamental questions of existence, the origin of the universe, the nature of reality, and the limits of knowledge. In so doing he reaches a provocative conclusion: Science, like religion, is fundamentally limited as a tool for understanding the world. As science and its philosophical interpretations advance, we face the unsettling recognition of how much we don't know.

The Architecture of Reality is the third book in the Energy & Consciousness Series,and its most uncompromising volume. This book does not ask what reality means. It explains why reality must be structured. Across thirteen tightly constructed chapters, it demonstrates that reality is not chaos shaped by belief, emotion, or intention — but an ordered system governed by law, constraint, and consequence. Meaning, freedom, morality, and even spirituality are shown not as foundations, but as outcomes that emerge only when structure is respected.

Radical doubt has been attempted for centuries. Every belief has been challenged, every foundation questioned, every certainty placed under suspicion. And yet, total negation has never been achieved. Something always remains. This audiobook explains why. The Law of Limit to Negation formulates a single structural principle that has been repeatedly approached but never stated as a law: negation cannot negate itself. The failure of total negation is not psychological, existential, linguistic, or metaphysical. It is operational.

This book explores the concept of abstraction as both a central method of philosophical inquiry and a process that inevitably encounters multiple forms of limitation. Through logical, epistemological, ontological, linguistic, existential, and mystical perspectives, it examines how abstraction can clarify, distort, transcend, or collapse into self-reference and emptiness. It argues that while abstraction is essential for conceptual thought, it also risks severing ties with lived experience, language, and meaning.

This book introduces and develops the concept of Historic Antiteleology as a radical reorientation of historical thought beyond the metaphysics of progress, redemption, or narrative coherence. Drawing on the insights of Wilhelm Dilthey, Henri Bergson, and poststructuralist thinkers such as Foucault and Benjamin, the essay critiques the enduring influence of teleological models in historiography — models that frame history as a purposeful sequence culminating in moral, political, or technological fulfillment.
