Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveranderung. Matthijs van Boxsel glaubt, dass niemand intelligent genug ist, um die eigene Dummheit zu verstehen. In der Enzyklopadie der Dummheit zeigt er, wie sich Dummheit in allen Bereichen, bei jedem und zu jeder Zeit manifestiert, und schlagt vor, dass Dummheit das Fundament unserer Zivilisation ist. In kurzen Abschnitten mit Titeln wie ,Der Blunderer-Club", ,Narren in der Holle", ,Genealogie der Idioten" und ,Die Asthetik der leeren Geste" wird Dummheit anhand von Marchen, Cartoons, Triumphbogen, Gartenarchitektur, Barockdecken, Witzen, fadenscheinigen Ausreden und Science-Fiction analysiert. Van Boxsel mochte mehr tun, als nur ein ,Schattenkabinett" der Weisheit zusammenzustellen; er versucht, die Logik dieser entgegengesetzten Welt zu ergrunden. Wo beginnen und enden Verstandnis und Intelligenz? Er untersucht mythische Narren wie den Zyklopen und Konig Midas, Stadte wie Gotham, Archetypen wie die dumme Blonde und traditionell dumme Tiere wie die Gans, den Esel und das kopflose Huhn. Van Boxsel postuliert, dass Dummheit eine Voraussetzung fur Intelligenz ist, dass Fehler den Fortschritt anregen und dass Misserfolg die Grundlage fur Erfolg ist. In diesem gelehrten und witzigen Buch vertritt er die Auffassung, dass unsere Kultur das Produkt einer Reihe gescheiterter Versuche ist, Dummheit zu begreifen.…
