Description

The Magic of Unknowing: An East-West Soliloquy by Mervyn Sprung is a unique philosophical work that brings together seven Western philosophers in dialogue. Aristotle, Descartes, Kant, Hume, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein and Pyrrho are joined by two Eastern thinkers, Chang and Nagaraj, who challenge the traditional views of reason and truth. In this imaginative conversation, the brothers grapple with the erosion of Aristotelian rationality in modern times. The dialogue reveals a shift away from relying solely on reason to establish truth and sense in the world. Instead, it highlights the interconnectedness of knowledge and behavior, where each informs and influences the other. The result is a profound exploration of the nature of philosophy, one that questions the role of reasoning alone in shaping our understanding of the world. This thought-provoking work offers a new perspective on the relationship between thought and action, and its implications for the future of philosophy.
