A book by [[wikipedia::Petr_Vopenka|Petr Vopěnka]] about the history of geometry and its influence on the way we today percieve the world. This book heavily influenced the philospohical parts of [[TheAPIBook]] and I'd like to recommend it to everyone. Alas I was not able to, because [[The Key Stone of European Knowledge]] is written in Czech and there does not seem to be any translation. However today I finished reading "[[IsGodAMathematician]]?" and I think I can recommend it instead. It has its [[IsGodAMathematician#Flaws|flaws]] (or rather omitions), but it is still a very good book to read to understand the difference between [[rationalism]] and [[empiricism]] (and to value [[cluelessness]]).

A book by [[wikipedia::Petr_Vopenka|Petr Vopěnka]] about the history of geometry and its influence on the way we today percieve the world.
