Description
Why are there so many subjects people hold different—and often conflicting—opinions about? If we were to address every issue rationally, wouldn't we always agree?
These questions trigger a discussion between Andrew, Bob, and Charles, friends and physics students. They believe that sharing information that everyone can use in reasoning plays a key role in reaching understanding, and that different starting information may explain different results.
The three friends carry out an experiment: find a topic about which their opinions differ, share information they consider important, and see if they are able to come to an agreement.
One a Christian, another agnostic and the third a deist, they decide to compare their religious views, exposing the main reasons that led each to their conclusion.
Drawing on such sources as Augustine, Kant and Plato, Sapere Aude! addresses important topics in simple and direct language, explaining interesting facts, well known to scholars, but almost entirely ignored by the public.
The three young friends accompany the reader on a journey full of unexpected discoveries and surprises, and like all journeys to an unexplored land, Sapere Aude! will fascinate and enrich all those who undertake to find out where it leads.
