Just out of curiosity: why a philosopher? Why not a scientist/
mathematician? The book looked interesting when you brought it to

I'd recommend a Scientist with good Mathematical skills who also
understands the broader context of Science and Mathematics which
probably makes them something of a Philosopher as well.
There are plenty of Philosophers who would not have much to offer
here, but possibly as many Scientists and Mathematicians as well.
