Fair. I'm at least somewhat conversant with the art & science aspects, less with the philosophy.
I'm thinking here too of Hilbert's problems, of Goedel, of Church & Turing.
Modernity
on the other hand, there seems to be in a lot of this handwringing over the loss of certainty regret for the loss of racist, feudal, colonialist, hierarchical, authoritarian 'certainties'.
I'm not sure everything lost from the cosmopolitan, multi-ethnic empires that were destroyed or dismantled in this period was bad. But a lot of it was horrible.
