The Thought at the Back of the Mind

Arts & Literature

“The Thought at the Back of the Mind is incisive and elegantly written. . . . Aronowicz turns to novelists, essayists, a poet, and—not least—a physicist to explore how to express the distinctively human within and beyond what is generated by an at once reductive and expansive account of science, giving a generous hearing to the humanities and to the irreducible multiplicity of human life. It is an important book, and strongly recommended.”
