Perché esiste il mondo, e perché ne facciamo parte? Perché c'è qualcosa anziché il nulla? Da secoli se lo chiedono in tanti, tra filosofi e scienziati, teologi e scrittori, ed è sorprendente scoprire quanto singolare, articolata e avvincente si possa rivelare, ai nostri giorni, una ricerca che prende le mosse da un interrogativo così semplice e potente; una vera e propria indagine, personale ed emozionante, condotta come una detective-story da un brillante divulgatore scientifico con un debole per i grandi misteri dell'esistenza. In "Perché il mondo esiste?" Jim Holt indossa i panni del segugio cosmico e interroga, punzecchia, mette alle strette (o ascolta, rapito e incredulo) una schiera di intellettuali di rango assoluto: Nobel per la fisica come Steven Weinberg, giganti della letteratura contemporanea come John Updike, matematici innamorati delle forme platoniche come Roger Penrose, teorici del multiverso e della realtà virtuale. Ogni colloquio è un viaggio in mondi nuovi, un confronto con prospettive sconvolgenti, un'immersione nelle teorie più avventurose e geniali del sapere contemporaneo, spiegate al lettore senza indulgere in tecnicismi e con grande affabilità, quasi come in un romanzo di formazione. "Perché il mondo esiste?" chiama in causa Dio, il Big Bang, la fisica classica e quantistica e altri cardini del pensiero scientifico e filosofico contemporaneo, ma il filo conduttore rimane la curiosità: la curiosità instancabile, la lungimiranza.

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Es ist die schwierigste und zugleich faszinierendste Frage aller Zeiten: Warum gibt es unser Universum? Weshalb ist es entstanden? Wieso existieren Materie und Bewusstsein, Raum und Zeit? Lasst sich uberhaupt eine Antwort finden - oder ist unsere Realitat nur der Traum eines verruckten Philosophen? Jim Holt hat sich auf die Suche nach einer Losung gemacht. Wie ein Detektiv geht er Spuren nach, spekuliert, kombiniert, experimentiert und sucht wichtige Zeugen auf: Physiker, Theologen, Philosophen und nicht zuletzt John Updike. Am Ende seiner spannenden Erkundung steht die Frage nach unserem eigenen Platz im Universum, nach unserer Existenz und unserer Endlichkeit.

First Edition. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw, now mylar-sleeved. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 141 pages; Physical desc. : xv, 141 p. : ill. ; 18 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. 127-128) and index. Subject: Wit and humor --History and criticism. Summary: Stop Me If You've Heard This is the first book to trace the evolution of the joke from the stand-up comics of ancient Athens to the comedy-club Seinfelds of today. Cropping up en route are such unforgettable figures as Poggio, a Renaissance papal secretary and sexual adventurer; and Gershon Legman, the FBI-hounded psychoanalyst of dirty jokes. Having explored humor's history in part one, Jim Holt then delves into philosophy in part two. Jewish jokes; Wall Street jokes; jokes about rednecks and atheists, bulimics and politicians; jokes that you missed if you didn't go to a Catholic girls' school; jokes about language and logic itself'all become fodder for the grand theories of Aristotle, Kant, Freud, and Wittgenstein. A heady mix of the high and the low, of the ribald and the profound, this handsomely illustrated volume demands to be read by anyone who has ever peered into the abyss and asked: What's so funny? 1 Kg.
