La philosophie, telle que la comprend et la pratique Schopenhauer, est une chasse aux illusions. Dans l'Essai sur le libre arbitre, traduit en 1877 et jamais réédité depuis, il démontre que l'homme est incapable d'agir par lui-même et il relègue au rang de mirage cette mystérieuse faculté appelée libre arbitre. L'homme est prisonnier de lui-même. La seule liberté dont il puisse disposer est une connaissance approfondie de soi. Leçon que Freud, qui avait bien lu Schope...

Lewis Carroll the author of the world famous Alice in Wonderland is well known even today for his fiction, but his tenure as professor of mathematics at Oxford university is less well known as is his love of logic problems. Carroll was a mathematician at heart; he deeply loved and was fascinated by the subject. At first it may seem odd that a creator of such nonsensical writings would have such an interest in this area, although the logic involved in maths appealed to the very clever mind of Dod...

In a world of spin, rhetoric, blagging and bullshitting, a basic level of scepticism and the impulse to question first impressions is widely considered a virtue. Yet the very purpose of such caution - the discernment of truth - has for some...

If you can't prove something, it is literally senseless - so argues Ayer in this irreverent and electrifying book. Statements are either true by definition (as in maths), or can be verified by direct experience. Ayer rejected metaphysical claims about god, the absolute, and objective values as completely nonsensical. Ayer was only 24 when he finished LANGUAGE, TRUTH & LOGIC, yet it shook the foundations of Anglo-American philosophy and made its author notorious. It became a classic text, cle...
