Ferris Bueller Cloths

A philosophical inquiry. Philip Kerr. Translator: Maurice Bach. Anagram.

To a disciple of Wittgenstein, the idea of \u200b\u200ba serial murderer who travels in time and eliminates Descartes, Kant, Plato and Aristotle, should be fascinating. One possibility for this spirit is developed in this book. This is a police program in a future London, which classifies individuals according to their neurological configurations. The objective is to identify people with a high probability of becoming mass murderers. Who designed the program, he decided to use the names of the authors of an editorial collection of classic texts in the archives to designate members of this select group of suspected neurological and just one of them it was the nickname of "Ludwig Wittgenstein. " The discovery of its murderer profile meant a change for the Wittgenstein of the book is given the task of killing all members of the group of potential mass murderers. If I remember began with Descartes, who gave him a shot, the closest thing in this world to a perfect demonstration. The researcher in charge of the case, an intelligent woman with an instinctive hatred of men, still in awe of the exploits of Wittgenstein and, on the road, decided to consult the dean of philosophy at the University of Oxford. In one of the best moments in the novel, Dean tells the police the deep affinity between philosophical inquiry and the police. In the end, Wittgenstein is captured, and condemned, and almost all the classical authors are saved. A pity, surely, in the eyes of some followers of Wittgenstein.
