Als einer der Väter der Analytischen Philosophie, hat Bertrand Russell eine Fülle von Essays verfasst, die sehr entschieden seine Meinung präsentieren und trotz seiner akademischen Formulierungen allgemeinverständlich bleiben. In dem von Norbert Hülm gelesenen Werk "Unpopuläre Betrachtungen" findet sich eine Sammlung seiner Aufsätze, die populär wurden. Die enthaltenen Essays stellen Russell deutlich als den klaren Denker und großen Stilist dar, der er war. Russells Analysen zu folgen ist nicht nur sehr unterhaltsam, es regt auch zum Nachdenken an.

Gedankenspiele sind seit über zweitausend Jahren die Werkzeuge der Philosophie - sie helfen dabei, Antworten auf die grundlegenden Fragen des Lebens zu finden. Die großen Philosophen - von Sokrates bis Sartre - haben solche geistigen Experimente entwickelt, um sich Themen wie Moral, Freiheit oder Gerechtigkeit zu nähern: Wie würden wir leben, wenn wir unsterblich wären? Wenn ich mein Gehirn mit dem meines Nachbarn tausche - wer wohnt dann wo? Wie kann ein angeketteter Hund glücklich werden?

"Sulle spalle dei giganti" rappresenta per i lettori di Eco un evento festoso. Lontano dalle aule universitarie, dai congressi accademici, dalle cerimonie onorarie, Eco scrive questi testi, nel corso di tre lustri, per intrattenere gli spettatori (che ogni volta per lui accorrono a frotte) della Milanesiana, il festival ideato e diretto da Elisabetta Sgarbi. Testi che il più delle volte traggono spunto dal tema stesso che ogni anno la Milanesiana si dà, per poi scorrere lungo rivoli di un repertorio che attinge alla filosofia quanto alla letteratura, all'estetica, all'etica.

Vous sortez du salon pendant un match de foot ? C'est là que votre équipe favorite marque son seul but. Renseignez-vous autour de vous. Parents, amis, et même ennemis : nous sommes tous des victimes.

The history of Western thought contains hundreds of statements by philosophers testifying to the use of esoteric writing in their own work or others'. Despite this well-documented history, however, esotericism is often dismissed today as a rare occurrence.

Melzer serves as our guide in this engaging history of philosophical esotericism. Walking listeners through both an ancient and a modern esoteric work, he explains what esotericism is - and is not.
