Customer Reviews
A dazzling journey to nowhere in particular - Rated What we get here is a stream of consciousness roller coaster ride that dazzles and entertains but ultimately says nothing. It's a bit like watching a magician give a virtuoso performance waving shiny objects in front of the audience, and then realising afterwards that actually he didn't do any magic. And I have a personal dislike of new words that authors try to slip into the language when they think we're not looking. Here, Umberto Eco brings us the vision of philosophers becoming "charismatized". When I read this all I could think of was "caramelized" which I'm sure is not what he meant at all, although the image is an intriguing one. So if you want to spend an hour or two being lead in loops and spirals of intriguing yet ultimately pointless discourse, this is for you. It's entertaining enough but at the end of it all you are left with a big feeling of "So what?". If you're an Eco fan already you'll probably like this well enough, if you're not then it won't convert you.
