Overview

The Vertigo of Reason: Turing and Wittgenstein at Cambridge Cambridge, 1939. In a quiet lecture hall at Trinity College, two of the twentieth century's greatest minds confront one another. Alan Turing, a young mathematician destined to decipher the codes of history, meets Ludwig Wittgenstein, the philosopher already crowned with genius. Their clash centers on a single, dizzying question: What is logic? For Turing, logic is a machine - a system that can, and must, be pushed to its limits. For Wittgenstein, it is a language - a game whose rules reveal the shifting depths of human thought. Between them unfolds a confrontation that is at once intellectual and existential, where equations meet enigmas, and reason teeters on the edge of its own abyss. From this brief but incandescent encounter emerges a reflection that transcends time: is human reason built upon proof or mystery, on theorems or silence? Behind this duel of minds lies a broader horizon - our modern relationship with machines, truth, and the fragile beauty of thought itself. The Vertigo of Reason invites readers into one of the most fascinating crossroads of modern philosophy and mathematics - a story of ideas, but also of humanity.
