In den WarenkorbPaperback. Zustand: Very Good. Matthijs van Boxsel believes that no one is intelligent enough to understand their own stupidity. In The Encyclopdia of Stupidity he shows how stupidity manifests itself in all areas, in everyone, at all times, proposing that stupidity is the foundation of our civilization. In short sections with such titles as The Blunderers Club, Fools in Hell, Genealogy of Idiots, and The Aesthetics of the Empty Gesture, stupidity is analysed on the basis of fairy tales, cartoons, triumphal arches, garden architecture, Baroque ceilings, jokes, flimsy excuses and science fiction. But Van Boxsel wants to do more than just assemble a shadow cabinet of wisdom; he tries to fathom the logic of this opposite world. Where do understanding and intelligence begin and end? He examines mythic fools such as Cyclops and King Midas, cities such as Gotham, archetypes including the dumb blonde, and traditionally stupid animals such as the goose, the donkey and the headless chicken. Van Boxsel posits that stupidity is a condition for intelligence, that blunders stimulate progress, that failure is the basis for success. In this erudite and witty book he maintains that our culture is the product of a series of failed attempts to comprehend stupidity. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Zustand: As New. Leichte Abnutzungen. La stupidité, moteur de notre société ? L'idée est moins absurde qu'il n'y paraît. Un homme s'y consacre d'ailleurs depuis plus de vingt-cinq ans. Il s'appelle Matthijs van Boxsel. Du célèbre Club des Gaffeurs créé dans les années 1970 à la mystérieuse amstellodamoisitude, en passant par le ahah français et le haha anglais, il traque la stupidité sous toutes ses formes à travers les contes de fées, les dessins animés, les jardins paysagers, les oeuvres de science-fiction, la littérature, la peinture, la politique, la religion, les théories les plus sérieusement délirantes et. l'intelligence. Résultat : ce livre-ci, qui montre que la stupidité se manifeste partout, en chaque individu, depuis toujours, et qu'elle pourrait bien être la marque de la grandeur de l'homme.
