„Više volim biti u društvu djece jer se barem možete nadati da će jednoga dana odrasti i postati razumni. Što se tiče onih koji su već odrasli – Isuse Kriste…“ – Søren Kierkegaard
Veliki umovi o malim stvarima donosi pregled raznih tema o kojima zapravo ne očekujemo da su veliki filozofi imali vremena, volje i interesa razmišljati. Neki od najpoznatijih filozofa svih vremena iznijeli su svoja razmišljanja o artičokama, bojlerima, čaju, fanaticima, golotinji, hladnim nogama, kavi, mačkama, penisu i još mnogim svakodnevnim temama.
Zabavno i zanimljivo, pisano vrlo jednostavno i pristupačno širem broju čitatelja te popraćeno simpatičnim crno – bijelim ilustracijama. Veliki umovi o malim stvarima knjižica je koja će se svakako svidjeti onim zaljubljenicima u filozofiju koji su spremni na nešto opušteniji i zabavniji način promišljati o svijetu i životu.
„Fanatiku je svaki pripadnik njegove sekte svetac, a najpravičniji od druge za njega je dijete propasti.“ – Henry Home, Lord Kames

“I prefer to be in the company of children because at least you can hope that one day they will grow up and become sensible. As for those who have already grown up – Jesus Christ…” – Søren Kierkegaard
Great Minds on Small Things – Matthew Qvortrup
Great Minds on Small Things provides an overview of various topics that we don’t really expect great philosophers to have had the time, will and interest to think about. Some of the most famous philosophers of all time shared their thoughts on artichokes, boilers, tea, fanatics, nudity, cold feet, coffee, cats, penises and many other everyday topics.
Fun and interesting, written very simply and accessible to a wide range of readers and accompanied by cute black and white illustrations. Great Minds on Small Things is a little book that will definitely appeal to those lovers of philosophy who are ready to think about the world and life in a more relaxed and fun way.
“To a fanatic every member of his sect is a saint, and the fairest of the others is to him a child of perdition.” – Henry Home, Lord Kames
