There may be no end to the number of philosophies a human mind can build. Not empty ones, not frauds, but coherent, honest systems raised on real distinctions and carried through to the last decimal of clarity. Coherence, it turns out, is cheap.

In the winter of 1437, on a ship crawling home from Constantinople, a German churchman was struck by an idea so strange that he spent the rest of his life defending it: the highest form of knowledge is knowing, with precision, what you cannot know. His name was Nicholas of Cusa, and he was, by turns, a boatman's son, a lawyer, a cardinal, a mathematician, a failed reformer, an accused heretic, and quite possibly the most modern mind of the fifteenth century. Five hundred years before relativity, he argued that the universe has no center and that all motion is relative.
