Inleiding tot leven en werk van de Franse filosoof (1596-1650).

Suad, giovane cisgiordana, sta facendo il bucato nel cortile di casa quando sente sbattere una porta alle sue spalle. È il cognato, che le rivolge una frase scherzosa. Suad si volta per replicare ma all'improvviso il suo corpo è intriso di un liquido freddo che in meno di un secondo diventa fuoco. Bruciare viva, è questa la punizione inflittale dalla famiglia per aver commesso il peggiore dei peccati, essere rimasta incinta prima del matrimonio. Nonostante le ustioni di terzo grado che la ricoprono, Suad riesce a salvarsi. Con l'aiuto di un'organizzazione umanitaria, fugge in Europa. Da qui, con indosso una maschera che protegge e nasconde il suo viso deturpato, racconta al mondo la sua storia, sfidando la legge degli uomini e la loro sete di vendetta.

Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) is probably the most divisive philosopher of the twentieth viewed by some as a charlatan and by others as a leader and central figure of modern philosophy. Michael Inwood's lucid introduction to Heidegger's thought focuses on his most important work,"Being and Time," and its major themes of existence in the world, inauthenticity, guilt, destiny, truth, and the nature of time. These themes are then reassessed in the light of Heidegger's later work, together with the extent of his philosophical importance and influence. This is an invaluableguide to the complex and voluminous thought of a major twentieth-century existentialist philosopher.About the Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics.

Even after twenty-three centuries Plato's work remains the starting-point for the study of logic, metaphysics, and moral and political philosophy. But though his dialogues retain their freshness and immediacy, they can be difficult to follow. Professor Hare has provided a short introduction to Plato's thought that makes their meaning clear.
