Cover von Mary Midgley: Wisdom, Information and Wonder (PDF)

In this book one of Britain’s leading philosophers tackles a question at the root of our civilisation: What is knowledge for? Midgley rejects the fragmentary and specialized way in which information is conveyed in the high-tech world, and criticizes conceptions of philosophy that support this mode of thinking.
