"This book is highly recommended to anyone who is interested in chess not as a sport, not even as an art. But as a way to think about life, the universe, and everything." Arne Moll, ChessVibes.com, 7 November 2008, "This book is highly recommended to anyone who is interested in chess - not as a sport, not even as an art. But as a way to think about life, the universe, and everything." - Arne Moll, ChessVibes.com, 7 November 2008
Synopsis
Chess, the ancient strategy game, meets the latest, cutting-edge philosophy in this unique book. When 12 philosophers weigh in on one of the world's oldest and most beloved pastimes, the results are often surprising. Philosophical concepts as varied as phenomenology and determinism share the page with a treatise on hip-hop chess tactics and the question of whether Garry Kasparov is, in fact, a cyborg. Putting forth a remarkable array of different views on chess from philosophers with varied chess-proficiency, Philosophy Looks at Chess is an engaging read for chess adherents and the philosophically inclined alike.

    There were some minor creases/warping in the cover and since the book was packaged in a cardboard box with extra packing materials to minimize potential damage in shipping, the condition of the cover was not caused by any USPS materials handling machines, but it still arrived in Very Good condition.
