Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Laughing Philosopher The Philosopher purchased for one guinea - In Wardour Street with Talbot - His presumption and folly The connoisseur attempts to crush him - And fails My bronze bust. Humour, said my Laughing Philosopher, is an attribute of God. I asked him whether the idea was original, and he answered that, so far as he knew, it might be; and that, at any rate, it was true. Then we argued upon the question. But before I record our conclusions, or the con versation which led my Philosopher to make the aforesaid remark, I shall tell you something concerning him. Frankly, I acquired him in Wardour Street for the paltry sum of one guinea. There never was any mystery about the matter, and my Laugher himself, with that fine philo sophic spirit which characterizes so many of his utterances, has often told me that I made a bad bargain.

Last words from my Laugher--Tolerance--Faith and Reason--A simile--The Garden of God--A worldflower--" Fare thee well." "To-night," I began, but my bronze interrupted. "To-night," he said, with a strange mystery hidden in his silver voice--" To-night, child of man, you shall give heed to me. Know, first, that this is the fiftieth evening we have had speech together--the fiftieth, and the last. Before I speak again, you and yours, and your children, and your children's children, and the work of your hands and brains, and perchance the pomp of your nation will all be dust; for, ere then, the world shall roll through five hundred more years. Who knows, indeed, that my own battered bronze carcase will hold together so long?" "This is a blow to me," said I; "and it shows the folly of not keeping careful diaries of the great concerns of life. I had thought that many days of intercourse still extended before us. But speak as you will, and let me listen. If you have a mind to sum up now the opinions this brief glimpse of human life has brought to you, I pray you speak. "So be it then. For myself, know this; I take my leave willingly enough, for to me this age is painful above all other ages my eyes have opened upon. To-day landmarks are vanishing with mournful rapidity; certainties grow fewer; theories flood the world in a deluge worse than Deucalion's. Knowledge cows all mankind. It is a lighthouse--a star-glimmer serving to show the awful darkness of the delta that tends towards Truth. I use the word ' delta' of set purpose. There is no straight road or river leading to truth, but a delta of a thousand arteries. Science plods here, Religion there; and all the arteries are very meet to be explored; all command exploration; all...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why We Laugh The idea which prompted this volume was to string such humors as were illustrative, upon some philosophic threads, which had been floating in my mind. Has not humor a philosophy of its own-physical, mental, and moral? It is said by Hazlitt, in his article on wit and humor, that you can not give a reason why you laugh; that people must laugh of themselves, or not at all. Without denying that we laugh with spontaneous impulse, and sometimes the more, at any restraint upon this impulse, yet the very categories of the critic himself prove that the laugh has a rational philosophy.

Book excerpt: Stoicism is a philosophical school of thought that originated during the early Hellenistic era (circa 300 BC). It flourished throughout the Roman and Greek world until the 3rd century A.D. Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Epictetus, and Emperor Marcus Aurelius were prominent promoters of stoicism. However, Christianity became the religion of the state during the 4th century and stoicism rapidly declined. Over the years, stoicism has experienced some periods of revival, notably during the Renaissance (Neo-Stoicism) and during the modern era (modern stoicism).

Book excerpt: A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.
