Brilliant Moments of Philosophy
From Heraclitus to Julia Kristeva
Philosophy is often a difficult and lengthy business. But there are moments when a philosophical analysis suddenly sheds a great light - on a particular problem, on our lives, on society, on the world. The philosopher Wolfgang Welsch has collected such brilliant moments from antiquity to the present.
From Heraclitus to Julia Kristeva and Arthur Danto, Welsch depicts inspiring ideas and thoughts that shed new light on the world and whose radiant power is still unbroken today. Both the brisance and the actuality are illustrated with 22 examples. The spectrum ranges from the Presocratics to the present. Some of the authors discussed here, such as the Zen master Dōgen or the multitalented Samuel Butler, are not generally considered to be philosophers. But it is not a matter of academic categories, but of inspired ideas. Wherever they emerge and grasp us, philosophy happens.
