Felsefecinin Diyeti: Kilo Verme ve Dünyayi Degistirme Kilavuzu

by Richard Watson

Paperback. 13,50 / 21,00 cm. In Turkish. 192 p. Translated by Özlem Azarpaci Edited by A. Deniz Topaktas Cover Filiz Odabas Kilo vermek ve daha önemlisi verilen kiloyu korumak; yemeklere ve tartilara degil yasama, ölüme ve dünyaya nasil baktigimizla ilgilidir. Washington St. Louis Üniversitesi'nde kirk yildan fazladir felsefe dersleri veren ve güncel felsefeye dair essiz eserler kaleme alan Richard Watson da tam bu noktadan basliyor anlatmak istediklerine. Filozoflardan, onlarin yasama, bir hedef üzerine kafa yormaya, disiplin ve kararliligina dair notlarini keyifli, akici üslubuyla ve güncel yorumuyla ifade eden Watson, zayiflamakla ilgili sihirli formüller vermiyor; zaten konuyu da diyetle sinirlamak gibi tek bir amaci yok. Belki de Descartes oturup kilo vermenin, aslinda hayat edimleri içinde disiplini sürdürme metaforu olduguna dair bir kitap yazsaydi, buna benzerdi.
