pickThis book delves into philosophical principles such as metaphysics and epistemology from a Christian perspective albeit Catholic. It responds to these questions not in further abstract concepts but in the person of Jesus Christ. It boldly claims that all the answers to the questions you have can be found in Him.
pickAlternates sections on the author's list of favourite philosophers and on themes and questions. Mostly concerned with the European tradition with occasional glances at India. Does what it says on the tin, serves as an introduction.
An unfortunate example for a book published in 2020
pickWhew 😅…
I think philosophy is so tough for me because I‘m a consumptive reader; I‘m used to moving at a steady pace and when I dive into philosophy I‘m forced to slow down, to remind myself that these essays are not to be read once, but multiple times, to be discussed and dissected.
Anyway, despite its density, I‘m glad I read it. I‘ve had it for FOREVER having come across it in a library sale. It literally fell apart while reading it.
pickLibro pesante, impegnativo, che fa riflettere, forse anche troppo. Una soddisfazione arrivare fino alla fine e forse il libro più bello che mi letto. In qualche modo ti cambia.
#PoetryMatters Day 1: #Torment - not exactly a poem but alludes to poets, so tangentially related. 🤣😅😂
Like much of everything else, WE MADE IT UP!

pickThis little book is the translation of a famous speech Sartre gave (Paris, 1946) to further expound on his philosophy. I think it‘s perfect for anyone wanting an explanation of existentialism. I do not agree with this philosophy primarily because I think it underestimates the importance of the situation a person is born into. Nevertheless, it was an interesting read.
