May 2023How Philosophers Fail Themselves
The somewhat different historyof philosophy
by Otto A. Böhmer
— Philosophy for beginners — For philosophy enthusiasts — A pleasant read This truly brilliant book tells of the sometimes sublime, sometimes exhilarating efforts of philosophers to maintain their attitude in everyday life without forgetting the meaning of their own words – and how they ultimately failed to do so.

A book of cheerful science, full of wit, narrative and linguistic eloquence.
