The book explores the philosophical implications of quantum theory, focusing on the Copenhagen interpretation by Bohr and Heisenberg, highlighting its neo-Kantian and anti-realist aspects. It contextualizes the theories of de Broglie and Bohm within the philosophies of Bergson, Deleuze, Kant, and Whitehead, particularly emphasizing Whitehead's Melodic Metaphor. Additionally, it delves into the aesthetic beauty of scientific theories, arguing that this beauty is a crucial criterion for assessing the validity of theoretical constructs.

This is an historical overview of the Visual Culture of years I & II of the French Revolution. In particular the role of Enlightenment Philosophy as the theoretical underpinning of the Revolution, Hegel's perception of the events in France, and most importantly the role of Terror as a system of power, will each be examined in turn. The central argument is that Terror was a political methodology that was deployed visually by the Revolutionary Government as part of a cultural revolution intended to instill ideals of free will, virtue and enlightened government into a reluctant citizenry.
