The world is held up by elephants atop a swimming turtle, the sun goes around the world every day, and things always happen because someone intends them to happen. Millions of fans are addicted to Pratchett's Discworld, and the interest has only intensified since Pratchett's recent death and the release of his final \u003ci\u003eDiscworld\u003c\/i\u003e novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Shepherd's Crown\u003c\/i\u003e, in September 2015. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe brave explorers of \u003ci\u003eDiscworld and Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e cover a lot of ground. From discussion of Moist von Lipwig's con artistry showing the essential con of the financial system to the examination of everyone's favorite \u003ci\u003eDiscworld\u003c\/i\u003e character -- the murderous luggage -- to what the lawless Mac Nac Feegles tell us about civil government, \u003ci\u003eDiscworld and Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e gives an in-depth treatment of Pratchett's magical universe. Other chapters examine the power of \u003ci\u003eDiscworld's\u003c\/i\u003e witches, the moral viewpoint of the golems, how William de Worde's newspaper illuminates the issue of censorship, how fate and luck interact to shape our lives, and why the more straightforward Discworld characters are so much better at seeing the truth than those with enormous intellects but little common sense.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 12, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52638278418739,"sku":"9780812699197","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/bTRoYXQ3SnBoRnRZQVVkWDBIUkh3dz09.webp?v=1762315122","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/discworld-and-philosophy-reality-is-not-what-it-seems-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
