This book cracked me up. It could have gone further, but it was hilarious to think what serious philosophers think about topics like farting. This would probably be a great book for young people to learn about important philosophers or a great coffee table book.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this
Great minds on small things is an absolutely clever and interesting book to read. The concept is quite unique, Mathew Qvortrup, a real expert in philosophy, takes us on a ride through the alphabet to discover what philosophers from any time, anywhere wrote about ... mundane topics. Consequently, the reader keeps being surprised by the topics, which are not about life and death, but more about anything we drink or do in everyday life. Hence, the fascination of the reader because it is crafted with so many skills. This is a book to keep forever in one's library and to enjoy and share !
All opinions are mine, thank you to the author and NetGalley.
