Reviews

[Abraão · Rating 3 out of 5]

Diferente de Um Discurso Sobre As Ciências, neste livro o autor parece parcial intencionalmente. Ele apresenta características da vida cotidiana, dúvidas, questionamentos e lacunas, sob a perspectiva de quem esta enredado, e sabedor disto, começa a reconhecer tendências no mundo não antes vista. Contudo não propõe uma atitude diante disto. Apresenta a problemática, sugere investigação, contudo onde esta a resolução?
