Details: cm.15x21,5, pp.68, illustrazioni. brossura copertina figurata a colori.

Abstract: George Berkeley (1685-1753) was an Irish philosopher, an anglican bishop and one of the three great British empiricists along with John Locke and David Hume. Ignored and derided in life, he is now widely re-evaluated and considered as a sort of indirect precursor of Ernst Mach, Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr for his thesis on the non-existence of matter and the impossibility of an objectively absolute time and space. His critiques of mathematics and science are among the most controversial, brilliant and revolutionary in the history of philosophy. The Berkley's essay A Defence of Free-Thinking in Mathematics was written and published in 1735 in response to criticisms ofThe Analyst in Geometry no Friend to Infidelity; or a Defence of Sir Isaac Newton and the British Mathematicians, by "Philalethes Cantabrigiensis" (Dr. James Jurin, a noted Cambridge scientist and physician), andVindication of Sir Isaac Newton's Principles of Fluxions, by Jacob Walton. Berkeley responded to a subsequent pamphlet of Walton withReasons for not replying to Mr. Walton's Full Answer.

Prato, Aurora Boreale 2022, cm.14,8x21, pp.160, brossura. Collana Symbols & Myths. Testo in Inglese George Berkeley (1685-1753) was an Irish philosopher, an anglican bishop and one of the three great British empiricists along with John Locke and David Hume. Ignored and derided in life, he is now widely re-evaluated and considered as a sort of indirect precursor of Ernst Mach, Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr for his thesis on the non-existence of matter and the impossibility of an objectively absolute time and space. His critiques of mathematics and science are among the most controversial, brilliant and revolutionary in the history of philosophy. «I have been a long time distrusting my senses: methought I saw things by a dim light and through false glasses. Now the glasses are removed and a new light breaks in upon my under standing. I am clearly convinced that I see things in their native forms, and am no longer in pain about their unknown nature or absolute existence. This is the state I find myself in at present; though, indeed, the course that brought me to it I do not yet thoroughly comprehend. You set out upon the same principles that Academics, Cartesians, and the like sects usually do; and for a long time it looked as if you were advancing their philosophical Scepticism: but, in the end, your conclusions are directly opposite to theirs».

Milano, Mondadori Ed. 2006, cm.14x22, pp.126, legatura editoriale con sopraccoperta. Collana Saggi. Una scelta di dieci menzogne tramandate dagli storici. A partire dalla più grossa: la Storia si ripete e serve a prevedere il futuro. Melograni smonta alcune finora indiscusse verità e dimostra prove alla mano che: l'Italia doveva essere federata e non unita; la Belle Epoque fu tutt'altro che un'epoca di pace e di sviluppo; le rivoluzioni scoppiano nei momenti di prosperità, non in quelli di povertà e stenti; la Grande Guerra non fu determinata da cause economiche; i comunisti mangiavano i bambini; Marx non visitò mai una fabbrica; la globalizzazione esiste da secoli; gli italiani non capirono Guglielmo Marconi. Ogni capitolo è un sintetico e preciso saggio.
