Serendipities Language and Lunacy【電子書籍】[ Umberto Eco ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Best-selling author Umberto Eco's latest work unlocks the riddles of history in an exploration of the "linguistics of the lunatic," stories told by scholars, scientists, poets, fanatics, and ordinary people in order to make sense of the world. Exploring the "Force of the False," Eco uncovers layers of mistakes that have shaped human history, such as Columbus's assumption that the world was much smaller than it is, leading him to seek out a quick route to the East via the West and thus fortuitously "discovering" America. The fictions that grew up around the cults of the Rosicrucians and Knights Templar were the result of a letter from a mysterious "Prester John"ーundoubtedly a hoaxーthat provided fertile ground for a series of delusions and conspiracy theories based on religious, ethnic, and racial prejudices. While some false tales produce new knowledge (like Columbus's discovery of America) and others create nothing but horror and shame (the Rosicrucian story wound up fueling European anti-Semitism) they are all powerfully persuasive.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In a careful unraveling of the fabulous and the false, Eco shows us how serendipitiesーunanticipated truthsーoften spring from mistaken ideas. From Leibniz's belief that the I Ching illustrated the principles of calculus to Marco Polo's mistaking a rhinoceros for a unicorn, Eco tours the labyrinth of intellectual history, illuminating the ways in which we project the familiar onto the strange.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Eco uncovers a rich history of linguistic endeavorーmuch of it ill-conceivedーthat sought to "heal the wound of Babel." Through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, Greek, Hebrew, Chinese, and Egyptian were alternately proclaimed as the first language that God gave to Adam, whileーin keeping with the colonial climate of the timeーthe complex language of the Amerindians in Mexico was viewed as crude and diabolical. In closing, Eco considers the erroneous notion of linguistic perfection and shrewdly observes that the dangers we face lie not in the rules we use to interpret other cultures but in our insistence on making these rules absolute.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With the startling combination of erudition and wit, bewildering anecdotes and scholarly rigor that are Eco's hallmarks, ＜em＞Serendipities＜/em＞ is sure to entertain and enlighten any reader with a passion for the curious history of languages and ideas.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	2,439円

Fatal Purity Robespierre and the French Revolution【電子書籍】[ Ruth Scurr ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞"Judicious, balanced, and admirably clear at every point. This is quite the calmest and least abusive history of the Revolution you will ever read." ーHilary Mantel, London Review of Books＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Since his execution by guillotine in July 1794, Maximilien Robespierre has been contested terrain for historians. Was he a bloodthirsty charlatan or the only true defender of revolutionary ideals? The first modern dictator or the earliest democrat? Was his extreme moralism a heroic virtue or a ruinous flaw?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Against the dramatic backdrop of the French Revolution, historian Ruth Scurr tracks Robespierre's evolution from provincial lawyer to devastatingly efficient revolutionary leader, righteous and paranoid in equal measure.
