Ranging from astrology to neuroscience and cosmology, from homelessness to love and the fragility of human fellowship, the scope of Horace Hardcover's browser is unusually wide for a philosopher these days.
His iconoclastic message is that uncertainty reveals more than the elimination of doubt.
The light irony of Alastair Hannay's novella hands on this truth to the reader:
Does it matter that we cannot decide whether its portrait of a philosopher is pure fiction, drawn from life or not even fictionally real?
One thing is made clear: the dynamic of doubt and certainty when ripped from the deadpan pages of philosophy can play havoc with a life.
Alastair Hannay is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Oslo.
He studied in Edinburgh and London, has taught in the USA and written several books, among them five on Søren Kierkegaard.
