How to Constitute a World
Autor Eva Brannen Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 oct 2017
In seven essays, Eva Brann questions the designation of the early philosophers as "Pre-Socratics," contrasts the concept of "depth" with that of "complexity," and critiques the work of Immanuel Kant—his Critique of Pure Reason, his Imperative, his Opus Postumum, and his philosophical use of mathematics.

Eva Brann was born in Berlin in 1929 into a Jewish family. In 1941 she came to Brooklyn as a refugee from the Nazis. She went to Brooklyn College, then to Yale University, where she studied Classics and Ancient History. She was a member of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens and of its excavations of the Athenian Agora (Marketplace), charged with publishing some of its early pottery. In 1957 she joined the faculty of St. John’s College, Annapolis, and later Santa Fe, in whose all-required Great Books program she has taught ever since, except for 1990–1997, when she was dean of its Annapolis campus.
