Phenomenological Sketches

Summary:
The essays in this volume vividly and fascinatingly demonstrate how surprising philosophy emerges from keen observations of everyday things. The author examines empty champagne bottles and arrives at the dialectic of theory and practice. He describes a pot or a farmer's soup, and suddenly cosmological issues such as creation and evolution become clear. He looks at a chessboard or a tree branch, and in the end, profound insights into truth, morality, and human history emerge.
