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».

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.

Traduz.di Tracy Lord. Milano, Polillo Editore 2006, cm.13,5x18,5, pp.270, brossura cop.fig.con bandelle, Coll.I Bassotti,3. Mystery Collector's Edition. Sette amici stanno trascorrendo una vacanza in barca a vela nei Broads, un intrico di laghi poco profondi e di ampi fiumi nell'entroterra del Norfolk, nell'Inghilterra orientale. Una mattina, mentre la barca sta veleggiando, il grasso e allegro proprietario dello yacht viene trovato morto al timone con un sorriso sulle labbra e una pallottola nel cuore. Gli altri passeggeri, che si trovavano tutti apparentemente sottocoperta, vengono sospettati di omicidio e costretti a convivere in uno spartano cottage fino alla soluzione del caso. Questa si dovrà all'impareggiabile Finbow, un funzionario statale in licenza da Hong Kong, che è stato prontamente convocato da uno dei sei ospiti. Al suo buon senso, al suo acume e soprattutto alla sua profonda conoscenza dell'animo umano si contrappongono - con effetti di grande comicità - la sentenziosità e l'ottuso zelo del sergente Birrell, un tipo che ha letto qualunque cosa sia mai stata scritta sul crimine.
