René Descartes is one of the formative figures in Western philosophy, logic and mathematics. His famous statement: "I think, therefore I am," has become perhaps the most famous phrase in all of philosophy. Descartes’s ground-breaking writings attempted to establish unshakeable foundations of knowledge, and set a trend for subsequent Western philosophy, which has endlessly critiqued and expanded upon his ideas.

In 1999, Texas passed a landmark clean energy law, beginning a groundswell of new policies that promised to make the US a world leader in renewable energy. As Leah Stokes shows in Short Circuiting Policy, however, that policy did not lead to momentum in Texas, which failed to implement its solar laws or clean up its electricity system. Examining clean energy laws in Texas, Kansas, Arizona, and Ohio over 30 years Stokes argues that organized combat between advocate and opponent interest groups is central to explaining why states are not on track to address the climate crisis.

I saggi di questo volume, che toccano la politica, la religione, la letteratura, la filosofia, la matematica e la scienza, sono raccolti in sezioni che si aprono con interviste immaginarie a personaggi del passato (Hitler, Gesù, Dante, Aristotele, Archimede, Newton) e si chiudono con interviste reali a quelli del presente (Chomsky, il Dalai Lama, Saramago, Kripke, Nash e Watson). Nel mezzo, il matematico impertinente dispiega l'arsenale della ragione per argomentare che non è affatto vero che non possiamo non dirci cristiani, o che siamo tutti americani.
