Metaphern. Die Geschichte der Philosophie in 24 Bildern

A visually stunning introduction to philosophy. From Heraclitus' "river," the first metaphor of Western philosophy, to the "liquid" metaphor introduced by sociologist Zygmunt Bauman, 24 metaphors are presented that are fundamental to our understanding of the human experience and the mysteries of its existence. Each double page focuses on a specific metaphor such as mirror, light, iceberg, or matrix, accompanied by a painting that captures the overarching significance of the respective metaphor. This book traces the history of philosophy through some of its most striking images and invites readers to understand and reflect on the world around us. It is the perfect book for aspiring philosophers and anyone interested in the history of philosophy or the exploration of profound ideas.
