The philosphical parts of TheAPIBook were heavily influenced by The Key Stone of European Knowledge by Petr Vopěnka. I really mean inspired. The whole "key stone" book has more than 800 pages and thus TheAPIBook (of about 400) could cover just a tiny pieces. I'd like to recommend The Key Stone of European Knowledge to everyone as a reading is worth, but alas, the book is written in Czech and has not been translated to English.
This week I finished reading of "IsGodAMathematician?" and I think I can recommend it as a good enough substitute for the The Key Stone of European Knowledge. It has slightly different focus, it is shorter, yet it covers wider range of topics, yet I believe the way this book describes the beauty of Accient Greek's geometry matches the feel I've got when reading "the keystone" book.

Flaws
I can only recommend reading IsGodAMathematician. I am especially glad that it references Galileo's thought experiement just like Chapter_1 of TheAPIBook. Reading this part was almost like reading my own explanation of the birth of Rationalism. Still I have few comments about differences between work of Mario Livio and Petr Vopěnka.
