Who this is

“He died at twenty-six, having quietly founded four or five fields that took the rest of the century to catch up with him.”
— The Great Philosophers, Ch. 227

The big idea, in the book's words:

“Belief comes in degrees, those degrees can be measured by how you act — and a belief, at bottom, is "a map of neighbouring space by which we steer."”
— The Great Philosophers, Ch. 227
