Paperback. Zustand: Fair. In 1766 philosopher, novelist, composer, and political provocateur Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a fugitive, decried by his enemies as a dangerous madman. Meanwhile David Hume--now recognized as the foremost philosopher in the English language--was being universally lauded as a paragon of decency. And so Rousseau came to England with his beloved dog, Sultan, and willingly took refuge with his more respected counterpart. But within months, the exile was loudly accusing his benefactor of plotting to dishonor him--which prompted a most uncharacteristically violent response from Hume. And so began a remarkable war of words and actions that ensnared many of the leading figures in British and French society, and became the talk of intellectual Europe. Rousseau's Dog is the fascinating true story of the bitter and very public quarrel that turned the Age of Enlightenment's two most influential thinkers into deadliest of foes--a most human tale of compassion, treachery, anger, and revenge; of celebrity and its price; of shameless spin; of destroyed reputations and shattered friendships.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The story behind the legendary confrontation between Karl Popper and Ludwig Wittgenstein, "an enthralling reconstruction of the episode"--New York Times On October 25, 1946, in a crowded room in Cambridge, England, the greatest 20th centrury philosophers Ludwig Wittgenstein and Karl Popper came face to face for the first and only time. The meeting--which lasted ten minutes--did not go well. Their loud and aggressive confrontation became the stuff of instant legend.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This dictionary will help you to find the word on the tip of your tongue. Unlike a thesaurus, where you look up alternatives to a word you know, or a dictionary which defines a word you are already familiar with, this "reverse" dictionary will help you to find words you do know, or are vaguely aware of, but cannot bring to mind. There are 31,000 grouped under a wide range of key words. The words listed may be alternative words for the headword, or words that are related to that subject. For example, under "hat" you would find "cloche", "mortarboard", "milliner" etc, each preceded by a short definition. For each sense, there may be more than one example. There are also word groups which are connected by their country of origin; for example, under "Australia", you would find words such as "billabong", "boomerang", and "dingo". Any adjectives and combining forms (suffixes or prefixes) associated with the headword appear first in the entry. Technical words or those used only by specialists in particular fields are not included.…
