Heretical Quodlibets

Angebote / Angebote:

Originally published in 1998, Heretical Quodlibets is an exercise in thinking that takes its reader on a wild journey through the cultural and philosophical history of mankind, spanning the classical writings of ancient Greece and Rome, through the Middle Eastern thought and the scholarship of the European Middle Ages, up to works of the 20th century. The author makes no pretensions to being right in his often revolutionary conclusions which he bases on far-ranging connections between events, concepts, and hypotheses, irreverently playing with ideas, undermining the commonly received and rediscovering the forgotten."If the reader, after perusing some of the texts of this work, says that he's never read a bigger bunch of nonsense in his life, then everything is O.K. And if, despite this, he were to pick up this book again, then this would mean that I in fact didn't write it only for myself.
