Mystery 101: An Introduction to the Big Questions and the Limits of Human Knowledge by Richard H. Jones (PDF)

Description

Delineates the knowable from the unknowable in philosophy, science, and theology.Offering readers much to ponder, Richard H. Jones approaches the “big questions” of philosophy such as the nature of reality, consciousness, free will, the existence of God, and the meaning of life not by weighing the merits of leading arguments in these debates, but instead by questioning the extent to which we are even in a position to answer such questions in the first place. Regardless of continuous technical and even groundbreaking advances in knowledge, there will always be gaps in what we can fully understand. Distinguishing true mysteries from problems yet to be solved but within the scope of our intellectual grasp, Jones provides a penetrating and high-level overview of the scope and limits of scientific and philosophical inquiry.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This book is very well written and well thought out. Jones is a deep thinker and a fine writer.

⭐I loved this book. Via reader-friendly language and accessible ideas, Jones appeals to readers to toss around the big questions that begin in childhood and endure throughout adulthood: Why am I here? What matters most? Is there a God? Why should I be kind? If there is no God, what difference does anything make? How do we even know that we exist? How can we recognize the truth and discern it from falsehood? Why respect nature? Where did the Earth come from? How did life begin? And much more. I don’t know Richard Jones, and had never heard of him before this book, but he is quite impressive in his ability to write on meaningful topics in an inviting, engaging, thought-provoking way that incites even the most skeptical or stubborn of readers to regain their childlike curiosity, take their eyes off the screen, and freshly consider the most important topics we live in our lives. I’m very glad I read this book. Highly recommended.
