Contrasting with the logical linearity of much philosophy, fragments disclose rather than prove, intimate more than argue, suggest a whole without elaborating a system, and emphasize the intuitive act of thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFischer readjusts our understanding of philosophical ideas as they originate in moments of illumination, and reveals the fragment as philosophy in process. In a collection of original fragments and an exploratory essay, Fischer sheds light on the relation between poetry and philosophy, aesthetics and society, art and the environment, and discusses seminal practitioners of the fragmentary form, including Novalis, F. Schlegel, Nietzsche and Heraclitus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePhilosophical Fragments as the Poetry of Thinking\u003c\/i\u003e makes an engaging, nonlinear case for the possibility and significance of a poetic transmutation of philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48147664503020,"sku":"9781350270121","price":65.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781350270121-philosophical-fragments-as-the-poetry-of-thinking.jpg?v=1786450606","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/philosophical-fragments-as-the-poetry-of-thinking-by-dr-luke-fischer-9781350270121","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
