Revue de presse

'... a unique collection of essays. ... The non-specialist might struggle with some of the mathematic vocabulary but the philosophical content is thought provoking ... a worthwhile read.' Federation of Astronomical Societies Newsletter

'... an attractive little book, featuring some highly original thinkers. The chapters by Penrose and Connes are especially good and easily worth the price of the book alone.' Mathematical Reviews
