This book situates the work of the artist Joseph Wright of Derby (1734–1797) within the context of his life and times.

Inner Space Philosophy
Author: James Tartaglia
Publisher: John Hunt Publishing
ISBN: 180341359X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Inner Space Philosophy is both a work of original philosophy and an entertainment package, since Tartaglia believes imaginative presentation to be a crucial feature of our philosophical traditions, one which has been neglected to our detriment in the drive to model philosophy on science. Arguing for the utmost importance of philosophy to the human future, such that we must eventually become 'a philosophical people', Tartaglia discusses topics such as the meaning of life, idealism, materialism, determinism, video games and existential threats. These discussions transpire through ethereal encounters with philosophers from throughout world history, some from the distant future and prehistoric past, as well as a cosmic battle between 'Lady Luck', 'Fate' and 'Philosophy', and a biography of Gambo Lai Lai the Cynic, a philosopher from Trinidad who flourished during the golden age of calypso music. This is a book which amazes, challenges and provokes deep reflection in equal measure.
