Peter Mlakar is one of Slovenia's most distinguished philosophers. He is motivated by the great questions of philosophy, ‘final issues’ such as death and nothingness, the mind and the limitations of thought. A heterodox metaphysician whose untamed reflections travel the path of an Über-truth. “Fortress of Metaphysics” forms a four-decade long cross-section of thinking and writing that idiosyncratically transgresses common philosophical demarcations. In three sections – sermons, literary writings and philosophical treatises – the selection made by editor Uwe Schütte presents a sometimes provocative, sometimes entertaining, sometimes profound über-thinking of the inconclusive questions of philosophy. The Best of Peter Mlakar!
