Gunther Scholz's seminal work, "Philosophy of the Sea" (2016), examines humanity through the history of its interaction with the sea. The concept of the sea allows the author to trace the mechanisms of reflection—from the ancient Greek origins of philosophizing to the critique of 20th-century geopolitical theories. Humans are land animals, and the sea is their mirror. The book is structured like a sea cruise. The reader travels along the course of European time, stopping at key points in history that forever changed the relationship between humanity and the sea: Miletus and Ephesus, Atlantis, Bensalem, Taprobane and Oceania, the birth of natural law in the debate over the freedom of the seas, freedom and humanity in the mastery of the sea, the sublimity of the sea, the beginning and end of the history of progress.
