The fragments sometimes enunciated as a chastising bolt, but mostly as a comedic nudge. And with each we have to sit up and listen - and think. That is what we deserve, do we not?\"\u003cbr\u003e- Hüseyin İçen, Turkish translator of The Picture of Dorian Gray\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"An admirably collage-like and astringent contribution to the tradition, which reaches back at least to Heraclitus, of aphorism and epigram.\"\u003cbr\u003e- David Shields, Author of Reality Hunger\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhilosophers are generally expected to engage in the three pursuits together and meticulously for a sufficient amount of time: reading, thinking, and arguing \u003ci\u003efor\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003eagainst\u003c\/i\u003e by writing or speaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to this approach, it is possible for everyone to practice a philosophical life. Because the said approach does not allow an \"all or nothing\" type of rigidity; some may be more involved in this pursuit, some less. In any case, there is a difference of degree rather than a difference of type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt should be kept in mind that in the definition put forward, reading, thinking and discussion are nonetheless necessary but not sufficient elements to be an original philosopher. Allocating a serious place to all three elements in her life does not guarantee an original philosopher. Authenticity is a gem we still don't know enough about.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book in your hand consists of fragments, the shortest of which is a sentence and the longest of which is a few paragraphs. I wanted these fragments to invoke longer readings, reflection practices, and perhaps discussions, triggered by shorter readings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA BITE TO REPLACE THE PROLOGUE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHAPTER I: REALITY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHAPTER II: ENCOUNTERS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHAPTER III: CONTEXT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR\u003c\/b\u003e: Balanuye is a Turkish continental European philosopher and academic.
