Knowing the Boundary

"Knowing the Boundary" explores the extraordinary life and ideas of Nicholas of Cusa, a 15th-century thinker who argued that the highest knowledge lies in understanding our own limitations. Through his groundbreaking insights—long before their time—Cusa challenged conventional notions of the universe and human understanding, revealing that every truth is ultimately provisional. The book traces his journey across a turbulent medieval Europe and demonstrates how his concept of "learned ignorance" remains profoundly relevant, from science to artificial intelligence.
