Has science proven the absence of a Creator or, on the contrary, does its very existence testify to the rationality of the structure of the universe? Is our mind an accident or is it a reflection of the Mind that rules the Universe? Is beauty objective? Is there a world of ideas along with the world of phenomena? These and many other questions are discussed in his book by a famous theoretical physicist working in the United States of America. Scientific and worldview essays are interspersed in the book with personal memoirs of the author. For a wide range of readers.
