Die philosophische Hintertreppe

Things I've learned from this book. One: Philosophers are self-contradictory - perhaps because the world is unphilosophical. There is a silent conflict between the field of immanence and traditional philosophy. Two: Perhaps philosophy is not the answer with a capital A. Sometimes our hearts are burning and philosophy remains ice cold in a condescending way. Philosophy is escapist and thinks that salvation is irrelevant. Three: The way the author conceives the narrative of philosophy is original. You catch a glimpse of the historical magic of philosophy. It's not a book for the academic philosopher, it's a book for a philosophy student with fresh eyes, who overpowers seriousness and gravity.
