Kant and the Platypus: Essays on Language and Cognition 16 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). So I am sure many readers hesitated after a review by such a rigorous big gun thinker as Blackburn. When I started reading ...

Holy Madness: The Shock Tactics Radical Teachings Crazy Wise Adepts Holy Fools Rascal Gurus 4 reviews George Feuerstein
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1992
Penetrating and impeccable.
