Марио Ливио - Был ли Бог математиком? Галопом по божественной Вселенной с калькулятором, штангенциркулем и таблицами Брадиса

Так что же, выходит, мы разгадали загадку эффективности математики – раз и навсегда? Я старался, как мог, однако сомневаюсь, что все будут полностью согласны с доводами, которые я выдвинул в этой книге. Однако могу процитировать Бертрана Рассела – его книгу «Проблемы философии» (Russell 1912).

Таким образом, мы можем подытожить наше обсуждение ценности философии. Философия должна изучаться не ради определенных ответов на свои вопросы, поскольку, как правило, неизвестны такие истинные ответы, но ради самих вопросов. А эти вопросы расширяют наше понимание того, что возможно, обогащают наше интеллектуальное воображение и убавляют догматическую уверенность, которая служит преградой уму в его размышлениях. Но, прежде всего, дело в том, что ум приобщается к великому через величие Вселенной и становится способным к союзу с нею, что и представляет собой высшее благо ( пер. В. Целищева ).
