자연과학의 역사를 훑어주고 있는데 따라가기가 힘들다. 뉴턴이 처음 만유인력을 이야기했을 때, 물체간의 접촉 없이 끌어당기는 힘이라는 개념이 당대 과학자들은 물론 뉴턴 자신에게도 absurdity로 다가왔고 따라서 중력을 primitive로 받아들이는 게 아니라 그걸 mechanical 하게 설명하고자 했던 노력이 많았었다고 한다. 하지만 그 문제는 해결되기보다는 '사라져버렸다.' 즉 과학이 발전함에 따라 중력을 유발하는 더 근본적 인자는 무엇인가에 대한 질문을 하지 않게 된 것!

Ch 1 concerns the basic property of language (and arguably of human cognition): merge. As a student of linguistics, I'm somewhat familiar with this idea as it is a backbone of Minimalist Program.
Ch 2 is about the notions of mystery and problem. The scope and limit of human cognition is derived from our biological endowment.
Ch 3 deals with two kinds of liberalism and how they are intertwined in the history of US.
