Truth is plural, semantic ambiguity is objective. Meaning is not in the head, but shared and multiple. This theory is put to the implicit test and passes in high-flying multicolour in these philosophical scripts, penned by best-selling philosopher Michael Picard to show the paradoxes, puns and paralogisms that result from the opposite assumptions. Refuting thoughts he sympathetically renders, Picard is known as a populariser who breaks things, seeking to reveal to the innocent masses the traditional follies and riches of his beloved and often benighted Philosophy. Rebelling against an elite and crippling education in esoteric-analytic philosophy, Picard climbed down the ivory tower, dissembling in cafes and cavorting with the great, thinking unwashed, to whom these writings are compassionately addressed. Dip anywhere into this box of therapeutic chocolates, and you will find no mere confection, but gravity and guile, substance and subterfuge, and a profusion of ways to skin the philosophical cat. Playing all sides, Picard cannot lose. The result is a winning playfulness, a provocative profundity, a rational ploy to reveal the cheat of reason which pretends to know the single final total truth.
