Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A playful collection of philosophical critiques from the internationally acclaimed and bestselling author of The Name of the Rose and The Prague CemeteryHow much do our perceptions of things depend on our cognitive ability, and how much on our linguistic resources? Where, and how, do these two questions meet? Umberto Eco undertakes a series of idiosyncratic and typically brilliant explorations, starting from the perceived data of common sense, from which flow an abundance of 'stories' or fables, often with animals as protagonists, to expound a clear critique of Kant, Heidegger and Peirce. And as a beast designed specifically to throw spanners in the works of cognitive theory, the duckbilled platypus naturally takes centre stage. How much do our perceptions of things depend on our cognitive ability, and how much on our linguistic resources? Where do these two questions meet? Umberto Eco undertakes a series of explorations, starting from common sense, from which flow stories or fables, often with animals as protagonists, to expound a critique of Kant Heidegger and Pierce.
