Insurmountable Simplicities: Thirty-Nine Philosophical Conundrums"Perhaps not all the stories that follow are true. They could, however, be true, and the Reader is invited to ponder this." So begins Insurmountable Simplicities, Roberto Casati and Achille Varzi's colorful incarnation of the many philosophical conundrums that hide in the wrinkles of everyday life. Why do mirrors seem to invert left and right but not up and down? How do we know whether strawberries taste the same for everyone? Where is it written that
"Perhaps not all the stories that follow are true. They could, however, be true, and the Reader is invited to ponder this." So begins Insurmountable Simplicities, Roberto Casati and Achille Varzi's colorful incarnation of the many philosophical conundrums that hide in the wrinkles of everyday life. Why do mirrors seem to invert left and right but not up and down? How do we know whether strawberries taste the same for everyone? Where is it written that we must observe the law, and if it is not written, why should we observe it? What if we could swap brains-or the rest of our bodies? Insurmountable Simplicities is filled with stories, dialogues, and epistolary exchanges that cover a range of themes-such as personal identity, causality and responsibility, fortune, the nature of things, the paradoxes of time and space, the interface between logic and language-in captivating and inventive ways. Clear, concise, and intellectually engaging, this internationally acclaimed book brilliantly demonstrates that the beauty of philosophy resides in its thorough engagement with the simplicities of the world, insurmountable as they might initially appear.Binding Type: Paperback

Five star all the way around!
I found that the dimensions on this cabinet were a lot bigger than most and most affordable… I can also say that this gives the perfect rustic, modern farmhouse look. Definitely fits a lot more than I expected. This products is very sturdy, it is also wide enough to be able to fit some decor on top, cute little towel bar on it as well. I put this above my toilet and was unsure how it would look due to the fact it had a towel holder, but I absolutely love it. This is a super cute medicine cabinet and not only does it look good, it’s very durable, and fits more medicine than I had expected.

Beautiful sturdy cabinet.
This cabinet is beautiful. Paint was covering all the pieces. I put it together in about an hour by myself. Well made. The gold on black is so sharp. I actually have grey tones in the bath so I took a grey metallic sharpie and ran a line over the gold. Really turned out sharp. They even put black round stickers in the box to cover the screws. Wouldn’t definitely buy again!

Good product with one exception
I was happy with this product. Easy enough to put together. Provides great storage space. Unfortunately one of the screws it came with was not functional so I've been unable to install both door pulls.

Really nice for the price.
Wouldn’t expect the quality for the price in today’s over inflated world. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not made from rare woods and interesting hand made joinery, but as a cheap cabinet to go in my bathroom in my rental apartment to replace the one that delaminated from the bathroom steam, yeah it’s pretty good. It’s made of what looks like mdf but the finish is what got me, it’s like a heavy spray on lacquer or at least feels like it, which shouldn’t delaminate like a veneered panel. My only complaint is the stickers to cover the screw holes, they could be a bit thicker so they don’t get wrinkled.
