About the product The book of the British physicist and philosopher David Deutsch, one of the founders of the concept of quantum computing, clearly demonstrates that the era of great philosophical systems is not left in the past. The author builds a holistic and consistent with scientific knowledge answer to one of the most fundamental philosophical questions: what is the true nature of reality. According to Deutsch, the fabric of reality, which it reveals to any bearer of the mind, is woven from four main threads. This is Karl Popper’s epistemology, revealing the path of scientific knowledge; it is quantum mechanics, which is holistically interpreted only after the recognition of the reality of the multiverse — an infinite ensemble of parallel universes; it is the theory of computation, founded by Turing, without which it is impossible to understand the nature of mathematical objects; and, finally, it is a universal theory of evolution, explaining the development of not only life, but also civilization. The thoughtful reader will be amazed at the combination of the breadth and logical consistency of the author’s thought. With his explanations, the multiverse ceases to seem fantastic and becomes the most natural description of the amazing reality that modern science has revealed to us. The question of the place and role of man in such a bizarre world remains outside the scope of the book.
