› Find signed collectible books: 'Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy'Book summary:For Christopher Phillips, philosophy is a passion: it is not so much a discipline to be learned as an experience to be lived. Taking his cue from Socrates, the inaugurator of the Western philosophical tradition, Phillips embarks on a search for truth and meaning through a series of conversations that is at once refreshing, humorous, troubling, confusing, encouraging, depressing, and provocative. What makes Plato's Socratic dialogues so enduring--and Phillips's book so intriguing--is that for both Plato and Phillips, philosophy is not something you read or study. It is something you do. Plato wrote in Parmenides that "without wandering around and examining everything in detail one is unable to secure understanding." Phillips takes this approach--the Socratic approach--to heart. In the course of Socrates Café, he travels around asking questions of everyone who's interested. Just like the real Socrates, who did not confine himself to the Athenian ivory tower, Phillips searches out public conversations--what he calls Socrates cafés--with children, seniors, psychiatrists, prisoners, ex-academics, students, lawyers, and everyday people. In a sense, the book is a series of short, modern-day Socratic dialogues interspersed with meditations on the nature of philosophical inquiry.
Phillips seizes upon what the Greeks called "elenchus," a method of inquiry that helps people see their own beliefs and opinions more clearly. In the course of the numerous Socrates cafés highlighted in this book, Phillips persistently reminds us that we ought to ask questions simply because the process is good for us. In each of the cafés, the participants vary as widely as the questions, and the dialogues are by turns candid, insightful, muddled, intelligent, bland, and piquant. The real meaning of Socrates Café lies in the contentious and wonderful space of human interaction. --Eric de Place [via]

Your World and Welcome to It: A Rogue's Gallery of Interior Designby Patrick Mauries, Christian Lacroix, Christopher PhillipsISBN 0684844206 (0-684-84420-6)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Your World and Welcome to It: A Rogue's Gallery of Interior Design'Book summary:After paying homage to LES STYLES by Philippe Jullian, an early sixties cult classic which offers a wicked look at the pretentions of domestic decor from CroMagnon man to Wallis Windsor, YOUR WORLD AND WELCOME TO IT traces interior design styles chronologically from the sixties through the nineties. Among the terms skewered by the Mauries/Lacroix team are 'Loft living', that perfect expression of the 1980's wherein 'size bespeaks wealth and location bespeaks independence of spirit;' 'Happy Habitat,' the choice of "people who use Peter Mayle's A YEAR IN PROVENCE as their guide to the art of living," and 'Shaker Style,' described as "an orgy of racks for hanging up stools and utensils, an avalanche of plain wardrobes, baskets, and oval wooden boxes." Styles in design, the authors suggest, encapsulate the hopes, fantasies, and ideals of a particular moment in time and YOUR WORLD AND WELCOME TO IT takes an uncompromising, but never unkind look at the past and present. Lacroix and Mauries's catalogue of design obsessions teach us to follow not fads but our own fancy, lest we find ourselves the target of their rapier wit. [via]
