Our sense-making capabilities and the relationship between our individual and collective intelligence and the comprehensibility of the world are both remarkable and deeply mysterious. Our capacity to make sense of the world and the fact that we pass our lives steeped in knowledge and understanding, albeit incomplete, that far exceeds what we are or even experience has challenged our greatest thinkers for centuries. A logos, Raymond Tallis steps into the gap between mind and world to explore what is at stake in our sense of our world and our lives. With his characteristic combination of scholarly rigor and lively humor he reveals how philosophers, theologians and scientists have tried to demystify our extraordinary capacity to understand the world by collapsing the distance between the mind that does the sense-making and the world that is made sense of.
