Author: Claire Barnett / Gill Doles Number of pages: 187 Publisher: Markaz Al-Mahrousa An enjoyable tour in the mind and heart of the philosopher Pop, the poet of philosophers. He confesses to us about his childhood as he does about his old age [old age is great with enough money and a little remaining health... but it is pure joy]; about his teachers, his training, and his beloved philosophers [one does not need to be a philosopher to read philosophy], as well as about his relationship with literature [great literary characters are great thinkers], cinema, painting, music, and sciences; about revolutions [all revolutions fail, everyone knows that,... and that has never stopped people or prevented them from becoming revolutionaries]; about May 68 [May 68 was a process — revolutionary without a revolutionary future], about the fruitful and barren periods [the truth of poverty is not what I find disturbing, but the arrogance and audacity of the people living through barren periods]; about his relationship with friends [friendship is an amusing art], and animals, illness and drink, travel and sports; about authority [all authority is sad, even if those who hold it seem happy to possess it]; about responsibility, first and foremost, about stimulating the capacities of life [a person is completely responsible for anyone whose affairs are going badly]. An inspiring read of a encyclopedic thinker.
