What It's About
Beyond Dualism tackles the ancient conflict between mind and body, offering a truce between intuition and knowledge. It’s a journey through the minds of Heidegger and Cassirer that will have you questioning how we really know—and live—in the world. Buckle up, this isn’t your average philosophical road trip.
Synopsis
Descartes, bless his soul, threw us into a bit of a pickle: are mind and body destined to bicker for eternity, or can they actually play nice together? Somewhere between symbolic concepts and gut-level feelings, this book explores how we can truly grasp the world and find harmony between thinking and perceiving. And who better to guide us than Heidegger and Cassirer? Philosophies clash, ideas tango, and the big question is: can we really merge knowledge and being?
Why I Recommend It
If you love philosophical debate and are sick of the same old clichés about the mind-body split, this book will give you a fresh and original take. No band-aid fixes here, only deep dives.
Why I Don't Recommend It
If you think philosophy means dull, dense books that put you to sleep, this one might be a challenge. There’s no dumbing down here—it's deep, and there's no room for oversimplification.
Buy it on Amazon
You can buy it directly on Amazon by clicking on BUY above, perhaps after reading a preview by clicking on "PREVIEW."
It is available on Amazon both in eBook and paperback versions, which is why the product is priced at €0.00 here on my blog.
I could also order the paperback version for you and then ship it to you, but why make you pay for shipping when you can avoid it by purchasing directly from Amazon yourself?
