MarkoDas liebe @Krokodil war doch gestern so ganz spontan bei @aksioma in #Ljubljana und hat ein schönes Büchlein aus dem Shop mitgebracht.
adrianCurrently reading, this work on philosophy of history from 1977:
The Anatomy of Historical Knowledge
Maurice Mandelbaum
I am reminded of why I rarely read philosophy: it's kinda boring haha.
Now I've read my share of dry academic history too, but I didn't feel sleepy with those. This book isn't particularly long, and to the author's credit it's written clearly too. But it just feels too dry for me lol.

YOUTH, Nature, and relenting Jove,
To keep my lamp _in_ strongly strove;
But Romanelli was so stout,
He beat all three--and _blew_ it _out_.

Mike LawtonFinished “The Language of Liars” by S.L. Huang.
Ro is a linguist trained to jump into the mind of a Star Eater — a mysterious species whose ability to mine a critical element makes interstellar travel possible. When he succeeds, he finds a civilization far more complex than anyone prepared him for.
Colonial justifications corrupt everything they touch. Once the “lives are at stake” argument becomes available, there’s no moral high ground left.
4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
AnneTheWriterThis display is a very novel idea.
