Synopsis "Los Porques de un Escriba Filosofo (in Spanish)"

Martin Gadner es tal vez uno de los científicos consagrados que más libros ha escrito sobre ciencia y matemáticas, pero también se embarcó en una novela, Martin Gadner es tal vez uno de los científicos consagrados que más libros ha escrito sobre ciencia y matemáticas, pero también se embarcó en una novela, The Flight of Peter Fromm y en una edición anotada de Alicia en el país de las maravillas .En Los porqués de un escriba filósofo, encontraremos en cambio una admirable confesiónpersonal en la que él defiende, con habilidad, humor y sabiduría, sus opiniones sobre los sempiternos interrogantes de la filosofía clásica que suscitarán sin duda aquí, como ya lo hizo en otros países, largos y apasionados debates. Contrariamente a muchos pensadores modernos, incluso a los que él más admira, Gardner se considera un teísta, al margen de toda tradición religiosa todavía abierta a la posibilidad de la inmortalidad.Y con él reflexionaremos sobre muchas cosas que se plantea sobre sí mismo. Por ejemplo : sintiéndose él seguidor de Platón, Kant, Peirce, James y Unamuno, por qué no puede decir de sí que es subjetivista, pragmático, paranormalista, relativista, determinista, anarquista, smithiano, marxista, panteísta o ateo. Y, en cambio, si realista, escéptico, fideísta, socialdemócrata y admirador de H.G Wells y G.K Chesterton. Sabremos por qué él considera que Miguel Angel es un artista mucho más importante que Jackson Pollock, que Mozart es un compositor mucho más duradero que John Cage, y Shakespeare, mejor poeta que William Carlos Williams. Y, sobre todo, nos enteraremos de por qué cree que ciencia y vida están enteramente rodeadas por, y entremezcladas al, más amplio e impenetrable misterio.

Martin Gardner (1914–2010) was an influential American science communicator and writer, known for popularizing recreational mathematics and promoting critical thinking. He was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and graduated in Philosophy from the University of Chicago. During World War II, he served in the U.S. Navy, and after the war, he worked as a freelance writer and editor.

His most notable legacy is his monthly column "Mathematical Games" in Scientific American, which he wrote for 25 years (1956–1981). Through this column, Gardner introduced the public to complex mathematical concepts through games, puzzles, and paradoxes, making accessible topics such as fractals, game theory, and cryptography. His clear and engaging style inspired generations of mathematicians and scientists.

In addition to his work in mathematics, Gardner was a critic of pseudoscience and irrational thinking. He wrote extensively on topics such as astrology, UFOs, and homeopathy, promoting skepticism and the scientific method.

Throughout his life, Gardner published more than 70 books, including works on magic, philosophy, and literature. His influence endures in the scientific community and in popular culture, being admired by figures like Carl Sagan, Isaac Asimov, and Douglas Hofstadter.

To commemorate his centenary, the University of Barcelona organized a virtual exhibition highlighting his contribution to the dissemination of mathematical and scientific knowledge.
