Sinossi
Where does our fascination with the Apocalypse come from? Is time cyclical or linear? Can society survive without ideology? Can children be philosophers? Four great witnesses of our closing century examine our preoccupations at the end of this millennium, cast back to the fears and hopes of previous generations and examine the challenges to come. Mixing the humorous with the profound, they tackle a vast range of fundamental questions which have long taxed the minds not only of our greatest thinkers, but most of the rest of us too.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition. Where does our fascination with the apocalypse come from? Is time cyclical or linear? Can society survive without ideology? Can the parallel-universe theory really help solve the great mysteries of science? Why did war become an industrialised phenomenon in the twentieth century? How do different religions understand what is meant by the end of time? Can children be philosophers? In a series of unusually thought-provoking conversations, Umberto Eco, Stephen Jay Gould, Jean Delumeau and Jean-Claude Carriere examine our preoccupations at the end of this millennium, cast back to the fears and hopes of previous generations, and considers the challenges to come. Mixing the humorous with the profound, they tackle a vast range of fundamental questions which have long taxed the minds not only of our greatest thinkers, but of most of the rest of us too. Fascinating, challenging and unnerving - no less than you would expect from such a distinguished group - Conversations about the End of Time takes place in the great tradition of human enquiry. 228 pages.

Conversations About the End of Time
Da: Leopolis, Kraków, Polonia
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Hardcover. Condizione: New. 8vo (22 cm), XII, 228 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. "How has the Western Christian world responded in the past to repeated claims that the end of the world is nigh? How do different religions understand what is meant by the end of the world? What have science and philosophy got to say about the end of time? Why do people suffer? What is hell? Is time cyclical or linear? These are just a few questions tackled by Umberto Eco, Stephen Jay Gould, Jean Carriere and Jean-Paul Delumeau in a series of thought-provoking conversations. Mixing the religious with the profane and the deeply profound with the humorous, the conversations explore anything and everything from the concept of time as embedded in language to the reasons why war became an industrialized phenomenon in the 20th century."
