Produktinformationen zu „Why the World Does Not Exist (ePub)“
Where do we come from? Are we merely a cluster of elementary
particles in a gigantic world receptacle? And what does it all
mean?
In this highly original new book, the philosopher Markus Gabriel
challenges our notion of what exists and what it means to exist. He
questions the idea that there is a world that encompasses
everything like a container life, the universe, and everything
else. This all-inclusive being does not exist and cannot exist. For
the world itself is not found in the world. And even when we think
about the world, the world about which we think is obviously not
identical with the world in which we think. For, as we are thinking
about the world, this is only a very small event in the world.
Besides this, there are still innumerable other objects and events:
rain showers, toothaches and the World Cup. Drawing on the recent
history of philosophy, Gabriel asserts that the world cannot exist
at all, because it is not found in the world. Yet with the
exception of the world, everything else exists; even unicorns
on the far side of the moon wearing police uniforms.
Revelling in witty thought experiments, word play, and the
courage of provocation, Markus Gabriel demonstrates the necessity
of a questioning mind and the role that humour can play in coming
to terms with the abyss of human existence.
