Noam Chomsky - La ragione contro il potere
Italian | 2019 | 137 pages | ISBN: 883331166X | EPUB | 0,5 MB

In questo libro Chomsky espone con la massima chiarezza il suo punto di vista sul rapporto fra la politica e la ragione, intesa come ragione scientifica, ragione del senso comune, razionalità etica. La ragione è infatti lo strumento fondamentale di cui l'umanità dispone per debellare le menzogne e le oscurità del potere - che spesso si ammanta di un linguaggio tecnico e incomprensibile - e per realizzare il cambiamento politico, oltre che per far avanzare la conoscenza scientifica e filosofica. Molti punti fondamentali del pensiero chomskyano sono qui toccati: la possibile convivenza di razionalismo e ottimismo; la necessità dell'impegno volontario per migliorare le cose, nonostante ogni difficoltà (sempre ricordando i grandi risultati che nella Storia sono stati ottenuti), una scelta obbligata se non si vuole lasciar precipitare la situazione; la convinzione che l'esistenza di una «natura umana» innata, che comprende una «facoltà morale», non escluda e anzi implichi la lotta per cambiare il mondo..

Making Sense of Quantum Mechanics by Bricmont, Jean
English | PDF | 2016 | 335 Pages | ISBN : 3319258877 | 4.3 MB

This book explains, in simple terms, with a minimum of mathematics, why things can appear to be in two places at the same time, why correlations between simultaneous events occurring far apart cannot be explained by local mechanisms, and why, nevertheless, the quantum theory can be understood in terms of matter in motion. No need to worry, as some people do, whether a cat can be both dead and alive, whether the moon is there when nobody looks at it, or whether quantum systems need an observer to acquire definite properties. The author’s inimitable and even humorous style makes the book a pleasure to read while bringing a new clarity to many of the longstanding puzzles of quantum physics.
