Sinossi

Why Did That Happen? Aristotle Has Four Answers and None of Them Are Helpful is your brutally sarcastic, surprisingly educational crash course in Aristotelian philosophy—specifically his theory of causality, aka why things happen according to a man who thought everything, including acorns and chairs, had a spiritual destiny.In this delightfully vicious breakdown of Aristotle’s metaphysics, Sophia Blackwell (author of Kant You Not) drags you through the Four Causes—material, formal, efficient, and final—with all the reverence of a philosopher who’s had enough. Whether it’s trees yearning to be trees, tables having identity crises, or humans trying to find meaning while simultaneously sabotaging themselves, this book dissects Aristotle’s ancient framework with modern sarcasm and a side of existential dread.Inside, you’ll get:
 
A roast of Aristotle’s greatest hits: substance, essence, and metaphysical overkill
 
Why your coffee mug apparently has purpose and moral character
 
How causality shows up in nature, ethics, AI, and your inability to commit
 
A final cause that dares to ask if you have one (spoiler: Aristotle thinks you should)
 
And a walk through the philosophical ruins of teleology, where purpose and pretension meet
 
Perfect for philosophy students, intellectual masochists, or anyone who’s ever asked “Why did that happen?” and gotten four wildly overcomplicated answers in response.This is not your professor’s Aristotle. This is Aristotle, but make it bearable

    A journalist for nearly 60 years years and Daily Mirror columnist for 27 of those, Paul has written regularly about the joys of train travel. 
    Now the country is set to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the modern railway – The Stockton & Darlington Railway opened on September 27, 1825 – when better to pen a love letter to trains? 
    Looking at everything from the earliest days, fascinating stories, famous faces and future of the railways, Paul’s ode to trains is a must-read for any railway fan as well as those enthusiastic amateurs who just want to know a little more about transport they possibly take for granted.

    What the River Knows - Essays...

    Edward Abbey, who never much liked Alaska, called it "our biggest, buggiest, boggiest state." To others, it has been a cure for despair. When Michael Engelhard moved to Fairbanks more than three decades ago, he was a cheechako, a subarctic tenderfoot. Gathering skills and experiences the hard way, he attained "Sourdough" status while realizing there would always be more to learn, see, and do in the land of midnight sun and auroras. 
     
     
     
    En route, Engelhard suffered frostbite, stubborn yaks, grizzly charges, trophy hunters, cold-water immersion, heartbreak, incontinent raptors, one pesky squirrel, and honeymooners from abroad. He tried to rescue a raven and explored Arctic dunes and a glacier's blue heart, and his own as he mingled with caribou on their epic journeys.
