  From Goodreads: 𝑅𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑚 𝑜𝑓 𝑇𝑜𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑤 is a sound refutation of Stephen Hawking’s declaration that “philosophy is dead”: as philosophers have not kept up with science, their art is dated. This work, however, casts light on philosophical questions that are ultimately beyond the reach of science – the type of questions that can be addressed but not answered so long as we hold to our position of human beings. That being said, philosophy remains one of the most frustrating disciplines in that it welcomes questions but evades answers. This never-perishing sense of frustration is symbolized by the everlasting 𝑅𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑚 𝑜𝑓 𝑇𝑜𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑤, which is not something to be rid of but rather hailed as the ultimate driver of human civilization.
