Soft cover. Condizione: Good. 1st Edition. Limited academic edition of 300 copies. Paperback, 232 pages, NOT ex-library. Faint spotting on the outer page edges. Interior is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. -- A philosophical and literary reimagining of two iconic figures - Aristippus, an ancient Greek philosopher, and Robinson Crusoe, Daniel Defoe's famous castaway. The book delves into the symbolic significance of the beach as a site of existential encounters and cultural confrontation. It explores themes of isolation, survival, identity, and the interaction between civilization and nature. By bringing together these two distinct characters, the authors reinterpret the traditional philosophical discourse of self and the 'Other,' raising questions about human resilience, the role of comfort, and the ways individuals cope with solitude and foreignness. This work invites readers to rethink classical narratives through a modern lens, blending literary analysis with philosophical reflection. Codice articolo 014069
