The Science of Can and Can't

Chiara Marletto

A Bridge of Ideas

What connects your engagement with the fundamental nature of 'what can be' in Chiara Marletto's *The Science of Can and Can't* with the foundational 'how we know' explored in Robert Audi's *Epistemology* is a surprising shared architecture of understanding. Both books, despite their vastly different domains, engage in a process of deconstructing complex systems – Marletto dissecting the productive capability of transformations, and Audi dissecting the justification and nature of knowledge itself – revealing a profound meta-level parallel in how you methodically probe the boundaries of possibility and certainty.
