Book Synopsis On the Shoulders of Giants by : Umberto Eco
Download or read book On the Shoulders of Giants written by Umberto Eco and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A posthumous collection of essays by one of our greatest contemporary thinkers that provides a towering vision of Western culture. In Umberto Eco’s first novel, The Name of the Rose, Nicholas of Morimondo laments, “We no longer have the learning of the ancients, the age of giants is past!” To which the protagonist, William of Baskerville, replies: “We are dwarfs, but dwarfs who stand on the shoulders of those giants, and small though we are, we sometimes manage to see farther on the horizon than they.” On the Shoulders of Giants is a collection of essays based on lectures Eco famously delivered at the Milanesiana Festival in Milan over the last fifteen years of his life. Previously unpublished, the essays explore themes he returned to again and again in his writing: the roots of Western culture and the origin of language, the nature of beauty and ugliness, the potency of conspiracies, the lure of mysteries, and the imperfections of art. Eco examines the dynamics of creativity and considers how every act of innovation occurs in conversation with a superior ancestor. In these playful, witty, and breathtakingly erudite essays, we encounter an intellectual who reads comic strips, reflects on Heraclitus, Dante, and Rimbaud, listens to Carla Bruni, and watches Casablanca while thinking about Proust. On the Shoulders of Giants reveals both the humor and the colossal knowledge of a contemporary giant.
Book Synopsis Standing on Shoulders by : Peter Bachmann
Download or read book Standing on Shoulders written by Peter Bachmann and published by 260 Productions. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine a classroom where books and ideas from the world’s greatest minds are freely examined in lively discussions. Fill that classroom with a wide range of students spanning a 25-year period. Sit in on a candid conversation between these bright, young thinkers, and see where their insights take you. In Standing on Shoulders, Peter Bachmann embarks on just such an invigorating liberal arts journey, and invites us to join the exploration. Using material gleaned from over 400 student papers from the Great Books class he teaches at Flintridge Preparatory School, Bachman weaves together a virtual dialogue between himself and his students that transcends time and place. Together they examine the pertinence of past wisdom to the complex digital age of today, questioning and affirming the relevance of Aristotle, Shakespeare, Thoreau, and others as they attempt to define “the good life.” Thinkers from all walks of life and educational backgrounds will find relevance and resonance in these dialogues, and may well begin to reexamine the world’s oldest questions from a fresh, individual perspective.
