1. John Paulos, Mathematician, Temple University
Manage episode 300071699 series 2970918
John Paulos is a respected international communicator of mathematics. His books and essays display a broad fluency in language and mathematical talent and skills. He's been intrigued by the idea of skepticism since he was very young. He wrote a letter to Bertrand Russell asking about Hegel’s argument and got a reply back. The following year, to his surprise, he found the biography book of Russell with his response to John’s question. He resonates very much with the authors whose ideas are about skepticism like Milchel de Montaigne and Bertrand Russell.
