The Phantom Tollbooth - Chapters 11-15

[Prof. Sky Alton]

Here we’ll be discussing chapters 11 through 15 of The Phantom Tollbooth

These chapters are all about describing things we can’t perceive, whether it’s a sound we’ve never heard or a complex mathematical or philosophical idea that it might be hard to grasp otherwise. Do you find thought experiments like the various ways to get to infinity useful when trying to think about abstract concepts?

Spoilers are most certainly not abstract so please use those tags when discussing plot points
