Flacherland : Die unglaubliche Reise der Vikki Line durch Raum und Zeit (3406501796)

Gambar
Quadratische Männer? Rechteckiges Dosenbier? Willkommen in Flacherland, der Zwei-Dimensionen-Welt. Bevölkert wird diese Welt von Quadraten, Dreiecken und Linien, ansonsten schlägt man sich mit den gleichen Problemen herum wie bei uns. Also mit Politik und Wissenschaft, mit Vorurteilen und Engstirnigkeit - und mit aufmüpfigen Jugendlichen, die partout nicht einsehen wollen, was gut für sie ist. So hat auch die Heldin dieses Buches, die junge Victoria Line, kurz Vikki - wie alle Frauen von Flacherland eine Linie -, ihren eigenen Kopf. Sie findet zum Verdruß ihrer Eltern das Tagebuch ihres Ururgroßvaters Albert Square, eines bekannten Querulanten und Revoluzzers. Dieser hatte tatsächlich behauptet, es gäbe wahrscheinlich auch noch andere Welten - solche mit mehr als zwei Dimensionen zum Beispiel. Vikki ist fasziniert, liest sich fest - und erhält eines Tages Besuch von etwas, was es gar nicht geben dürfte: Einer Kugel, die sich höflich als Space Hopper vorstellt und mit Vikki zu den ungla...

The Devil and Philosophy : The Nature of His Game (9780812698541)

Gambar
In The Devil and Philosophy, 34 philosophers explore questions about one of the most recognizable and influential characters (villains?) of all time. From Roman Polanski's The Ninth Gate to J. R. R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion to Bram Stoker's Dracula to Darth Vader to Al Pacino's iconic performance in The Devil's Advocate, this book demonstrates that a little devil goes a long way. From humorous appearances, as in Kevin Smith's film Dogma and Chuck Palahniuk's novels Damned and Doomed, to more villainous appearances, such as Gabriel Byrne's cold outing as Satan in End of Days, The Devil in Philosophy proves that the Devil comes in many forms. Are there any good arguments for the actual existence of the Devil? Does demonic evil thrive in Gotham City? Can humans really be accountable for all evil? Which truths about the Devil are actual facts? Is Milton correct, in that the Devil believes he is doing good? Through the lenses of Jung, Kant, Kundera, ...
