  • The Man Who Invented Fiction

    How Cervantes Ushered in the Modern World

    par William Egginton ...
    In the early seventeenth century, a crippled, graying, almost toothless veteran of Spain's wars against the Ottoman Empire published a book. It was the story of a poor nobleman, his brain addled from reading too many books of chivalry, who deludes himself that he is a knight errant and sets off on hilarious adventures. That book, Don Quixote, went on to sell more copies than any other book beside ... En savoir plus

  • Άγγελοι και σκακιστές: Ο Μπόρχες, ο Χάιζενμπεργκ, ο Καντ και η θεμελιώδης φύση της πραγματικότητας

    par William Egginton ...
    Traduit par Πέτρος Γεωργίου ...
    Ένας ποιητής, ένας φυσικός και ένας φιλόσοφος εξερεύνησαν τα μεγαλύτερα αινίγματα του σύμπαντος –τη φύση της ελεύθερης βούλησης, την παράξενη υφή της πραγματικότητας, τα αληθινά όρια του νου– και αποκάλυψαν, ο καθένας με τον δικό του τρόπο, μια διαφωτιστική, πανανθρώπινη υπαρξιακή αλήθεια. Ο νεαρός Αργεντίνος ποιητής Χόρχε Λουίς Μπόρχες ήταν τρελά ερωτευμένος και ο ξαφνικός χωρισμός του τον έκανε ... En savoir plus

  • La biblioteca dei quanti

    Borges, Heisenberg, Kant e la natura ultima della realtà

    par William Egginton ...
    Che cos’è la realtà? Difficile credere che anche una sola persona, nella storia dell’umanità, non se lo sia chiesto almeno una volta. Eppure, la risposta continua a sfuggire: si è celata nei versi dei poeti, si è travestita da rigore nei laboratori degli scienziati, ha vagato tra le pagine dei testi sacri e di quelli di finzione, sospesa tra ciò che possiamo affermare e ciò che desideriamo credere ...

  • In Defense of Religious Moderation

    par William Egginton ...
    In his latest book, William Egginton laments the current debate over religion in America, in which religious fundamentalists have set the tone of political discourse—no one can get elected without advertising a personal relation to God, for example—and prominent atheists treat religious belief as the root of all evil. Neither of these positions, Egginton argues, adequately represents the attitudes ... En savoir plus

    Expanded edition with new chapters and updates to the translation and bibliography.Borges cites innumerable authors in the pages making up his life's work, and innumerable authors have cited and continue to cite him.

    Filmmaker and Philosopher

    par William Egginton ...
    Collections series Philosophical Filmmakers

  • The Theater of Truth

    The Ideology of (Neo)Baroque Aesthetics

    par William Egginton ...
    The Theater of Truth argues that seventeenth-century baroque and twentieth-century neobaroque aesthetics have to be understood as part of the same complex. The Neobaroque, rather than being a return to the stylistic practices of a particular time and place, should be described as the continuation of a cultural strategy produced as a response to a specific problem of thought that has beset Europe ...
