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. The minor, sometimes bizarre events in the lives of the great philosophers fit so aptly in the picture of the respective philosophy that one has to assume they could have been conceived to keep the associated intellectual giant in a strange and memorable mood. A book of cheerful science, full of wit, narrative and linguistic eloquence.

Ein Reader

Humanities & Social Sciences2018Flowing ideologies. Ideas and politics in Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries
by Volodymyr Yermolenko

It is also a detailed and ruthless analysis of the main ideological monsters of our time: racism, communism, Nazism, fascism, and their mixtures. The book is written on the crossroad of different disciplines: philosophy, history of ideas, political science and history of literature.
