Kant and the Platypus: Essays on Language and Cognition16 reviews
Umberto Eco, Alastair McEwen

Harvest Books, 2000

Philosophy alive

+ Akin to a TV show; a layman's view of semiotics
+ Well done Alastair McEwen (Translator)

I read the review of Simon Blackburn trashing the book: Eco made a few mistakes concerning the two dogmas of empiricism (he confused Davidson's work with Quine's first dogma).

Holy Madness: The Shock Tactics Radical Teachings Crazy Wise Adepts Holy Fools Rascal Gurus4 reviews
George Feuerstein

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1992
