As a delivery device, humorous life experiences as well as tragic tasty metaphors and toothsome examples, as are befitting a Tale of Ragout, are used to bring forth meaning and context in the difficult to understand \"proto-concepts\", and transport, with speeds reaching well beyond those of light particles, the reader along with tales of amputation, murder, poisonings, mafia dealings, nuthouse internment, cross country bicycle tours, skateboarding, conspiracy-theories-come-true, indiscriminate sexual encounters and punk rock. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book's theoretical dialogue, based on the phenomenological works of Edmund Husserl, Ernst Cassirer, Mikhail Bakhtin and Max Scheler, and interspersed with ample references to Nietzsche and Kierkegaard, argues that Descartes' mind-body dilemma separated existence and life (phenomenon), a separation that marks the end of humanity's (and philosophy's) earlier unified state of being of \"whole and parts.\" However, it was George Berkeley, Gottfried Leibniz, and Baruch Spinoza who collectively deconstructed the mereological experience-an experience that permeated ancient philosophy (in general). The Garlic Cures uses the works of Aristotle as its primary ancient source, as the argument is simplified to keep the book under a thousand pages.","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47890444779671,"sku":"9798273537873","price":2180.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798273537873.webp?v=1781180040","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/mereology-the-origins-of-garlic-cures-and-the-art-of-telling-a-tale-of-ragout-the-myth-of-i-9798273537873","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
