In this post, I want to discuss some of David Deutsch’s positions from “The Beginning of Inifinity”. "The Beginning of Infinity" is a bold, extremely optimistic hymn to science, and to the growth of human knowledge in general. In fact, one of the key propositions of the book is that the paradigm of seeking good explanations through creativity and criticism (which humanity has used in science since the Enlightenment with astonishing success) applies to art, philosophy, and history as well.
