This is a trip across a mix of fundamental philosophical questions about the nature of knowledge of different kinds. Excerpts from well-known stories, parables, paradoxes and jokes accompany the text to provide concrete examples behind the philosophy. But while the examples and theories are interesting, there is sometimes a difficult connection between the two and neither side is as clear as it could be. Nevertheless the parts that are good are good enough to make up for the overall choppy flow. ( ) no reviews | add a review
Paulos uses jokes, stories, parables, and anecdotes to elucidate difficult concepts, in this case, some of the fundamental problems in modern philosophy. No library descriptions found. |
