How Are Things?: A Philosophical Experience by Roger-Pol Droit (Hardcover, 2005)

About this product

Product Information

We can learn a lot by staring at the objects around us. Droit kept a record of his daily encounters with the world of things - this is it. For there is much that we can learn by staring at things. We might discover, for example, that a paperclip is a model of ethical well-being, or that a bunch of keys or a streetlamp are figures of love. That a washing machine offers a lesson on the migration of souls, that a supermarket trolley can enlighten us about our emotional life. You might even discover the metaphysics of wastepaper, the wisdom of the umbrella, the revolutionary spirit of the vacuum cleaner. After all, human beings are not the only life on earth. Objects share our space, and to ask them a few questions is to find illumination in unexpected places.
