Boundaries and barriers : on the limits to scientific knowledge

by John L. Casti

This collection analyses the fundamental limits of scientific inquiry and whether nature imposes constraints on human knowledge. Based on a 1995 symposium, the papers explore topics such as complexity, quantum cosmology, and the search for the unknowable.
