Viac o knihe

Exploring the obsession with language and narrative in academia, Crispin Sartwell critiques how these concepts shape our understanding of time, identity, and history. He contrasts thinkers like Kierkegaard and Bataille with narrativists such as MacIntyre and Ricoeur, suggesting that the fixation on narrative can be detrimental. Through a lively examination of various cultural references, including literature and art, Sartwell advocates for embracing incoherence, ultimately presenting a unique perspective on identity and potential.
