What We Do Not Know in the Exploration of Limits
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2024
Extract
Human experience is rich in singular bursts and flashes that not everyone can participate in, that can only be the doing of a very small number of persons, and yet which, exceptional or strange as they are, have the capacity to enlighten us all. The extraordinary has something to say about the ordinary. Sometimes individuals travel alone along divergent paths, seeking a destination that perhaps only they can anticipate. In such cases the method used is not one that proceeds from the unknown to the known, from what the infant or newcomer doesn't know to what science or society considers as established knowledge. For those who travel to the zenith of experience, discoveries are of a different order because the person is transformed by them.
