¿Sufren las piedras?

Sometimes we try to see the world with a childish look. In doing so, we come across some fundamental questions, those questions that little ones ask themselves without fear and that adults often forget or allow to be hidden behind the hectic pace of daily activity. How to respond when a daughter wants to know if her parents love her as she is, or if they expected something else? How to explain what life and death are, why stones do not feel pain and animals do not speak? What does it mean to keep a promise? What do the imaginary friends we play with as children represent? Philosophy is this: wonder and discovery of the world. And the questions sometimes count even more than the answers. We read stories to our children, we play and talk with them, we worry about them or argue with them about the mess in the room and so that they eat what is on the plate. And we don't often notice the fact that the questions that come up are rarely as harmless as they seem. Why do you have to spoon soup, apologize or keep order? Who says what is written in our books? What does that mean about me and you? The most everyday can be an excellent starting point for Wolfram Eilenberger's philosophical forays. Do the stones suffer? shows us a new, refreshing and surprising facet of this author. This fun, inspiring, and humorous book infects us with a child's curiosity for wisdom.
