-
Story
In a letter of 1932, Karl Popper described Die beiden Grundprobleme der Erkenntnistheorie–The Two Fundamental Problems of the Theory of Knowledge–as ‘…a child of crises, above all of …the crisis of physics.' The two fundamental problems of knowledge that lie at the center of the book are the problem of induction, that although we are able to observe only a limited number of particular events, science nevertheless advances unrestricted universal statements; and the problem of demarcation, which asks for a separating line between empirical science and non-science.

That's okay, because no two people are the same, regardless of our similarities. This book not only analyzes what might make us uncomfortable about the vast unknown beyond our life here on Earth, but also about how we may become a little more comfortable with it with something that all humans crave: connecting with others.
