Curious Minds

Questions of Existence

Rebecca Goldstein

What is? And what matters? These are the two biggest questions that ponder Rebecca Goldstein, American philosopher and novelist. She is fascinated by the nature of the world and reality, apart from quantum mechanics. The realm of philosophy actively tries to reconcile what science is telling us through deep questions about existence. Rebecca Goldstein unfolds her life story from scientist to philosopher, and how she demonstrated her ideas on inner intuition through the medium of novels.
