Procrustean Bed: Philosophical and Everyday Aphorisms
6.99 €
It's no coincidence that Nassim Taleb's collection of aphorisms received its title. As the author himself explains: "Each aphorism in this book is about a particular Procrustean bed: how we humans confront the limitations of our own knowledge, the invisible and the unknown, what we cannot or do not want to observe, and as a result, we relieve the resulting tension by squeezing life and the universe into the overly rigid framework of ready-made ideas, simplified categories, specialized terminology, and prepackaged stories, which can easily lead to catastrophic consequences."
