Maria Tumarkin's Axiomatic is a profoundly thought-provoking exploration of the foundational beliefs that quietly yet powerfully shape human experience. Through a compelling series of essays, Tumarkin carefully interrogates the certainties we often accept without question, revealing the subtle but profound ways in which axioms influence memory, identity, and even reality itself. The work masterfully blends rigorous philosophical inquiry with intimate personal narrative, inviting readers to reconsider the unquestioned principles that silently guide their perceptions of the world. Rich in insight and crafted with lyrical, evocative prose, Axiomatic challenges conventional thinking and gently encourages a deeper, more nuanced reflection on the assumptions underpinning everyday life.
