About this audiobook

Antistene dice a Platone che di cavalli ne vede quanti se ne vuole, e che la cavallinità non l'ha mai vista. Platone risponde che ha l'occhio con cui si vede un cavallo, e che quello con cui si vede la cavallinità non l'ha ancora. Venticinque secoli dopo, i biologi non riescono a mettersi d'accordo su che cosa sia una specie. Il volume extra di La crepa non è un catalogo di filosofi. È un problema solo, seguito per intero: due cani sono entrambi cani, e che cosa hanno in comune? Socrate, Platone, Aristotele, gli stoici, le tre domande di Porfirio; i buddhisti indiani, che rispondono senza aver mai sentito nominare nessuno di loro; Abelardo, Avicenna, Averroè, Tommaso, Scoto, Ockham; Locke, Berkeley, Hume, Kant, Frege, Husserl, Russell, Quine; e i generi naturali, dove la chimica dà ragione ai realisti e la biologia torto a tutti. Si legge in qualunque momento, anche per primo. Chi arriva in fondo non sa che cosa sia un universale: sa che cosa costa ciascuna risposta.
