Gutes Exemplar; Umschlag stw. berieben u. nachgedunkelt; geringe Lagerspuren. - Englisch. - Mit Umschlag-Illustration von Josef Albers / Dust-Jacket - Illustr. by Josef Albers. - Josef Albers (* 19. März 1888 in Bottrop; 25. März 1976 in New Haven, Connecticut) war ein deutscher Maler, Kunsttheoretiker und -pädagoge. 1920 besuchte Albers den Vorkurs am Bauhaus Weimar von Johannes Itten, der die künstlerischen Grundlagen für das handwerkliche Gestalten in den Bauhauswerkstätten vermittelte, arbeitete abgesehen von seinen Fotografien und Gebrauchsgegenständen seitdem abstrakt und anschließend in der Werkstatt für Glasmalerei, die ab 1924 zur Werkstatt für Wandmalerei am Bauhaus gehörte. . (wiki) // Colin Murray Turbayne (7 February 1916 16 May 2006) was an Australian philosopher and an internationally recognized authority on the writings of George Berkeley. He spent most of his thirty five year academic career at the University of Rochester and was noted as the author of the book The Myth of Metaphor. . (wiki; engl.) // In a book of first importance to philosophers, scientists, and semanticists, Colin Turbayne critically analyzes the mechanistic world view of Descartes and Newton, and, inspired by the works of Berkeley, he presents his own theories of language and vision. The extended metaphor that describes the world as a great machine, Mr. Turbayne contends, is a limited and confusing device that still dominates science and enthralls the minds of men. The author presents a comprehensive discussion of metaphor, analyzing the difference between using a metaphor as an expedient description and mistaking a metaphor for the literal truth, and he shows how Descartes and Newton were unconscious victims of their own metaphorical approach to the world as a great machine. Mr. Turbayne proposes an alternative model which treats the events of nature as elements of language, and shows how the linguistic metaphor sheds light on the concrete problem of vision and visual perception, left obscure by the mechanical metaphor. Colin Murray Turbayne is associate professor of philosophy at the University of Rochester. "This extraordinary lucid book is essentially a massive experiment with basic philosophic conceptions. Accordingly, it operates on many levels, and offers varied and rich facets of interest. Yet it is unified by impressive directness of intent and style, and by an intricate and able skill in concocting a remarkable array of historical and factual materials with a complex dialectic of ideas."-The Personalist. / Jacket illustration: a drawing by Josef Albers, courtesy of the Yale Art Gallery.
