"Licthenberg's sayings have the immediate relevance of late-night television comedy, but there is an abiding wisdom that often makes them pertinent two centuries after they were scribbled down. If one reads them the way one eats chocolates, two or three at a time, THE WASTE BOOKS gives a rare pleasure, stating things we might have thought of ourselves, expressed in ways that never would have occurred to us."
Arthur C. Danto, Bookforum, Winter 2000

Book Description: The New York Review of Books, Inc, United States, 2000. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 203 x 127 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. German scientist and man of letters Georg Christoph Lichtenberg was an 18th-century polymath: an experimental physicist, an astronomer, a mathematician, a practicing critic both of art and literature. He is most celebrated, however, for the casual notes and aphorisms that he collected in what he called his Waste Books. With unflagging intelligence and encyclopedic curiosity, Lichtenberg wittily deflates the pretensions of learning and society, examines a range of philosophical questions, and tracks his own thoughts down hidden pathways to disconcerting and sometimes hilarious conclusions. Lichtenberg's "Waste Books" have been greatly admired by writers as very different as Tolstoy, Einstein, and Andre Breton, while Nietzsche and Wittgenstein acknowledged them as a significant inspiration for their own radical work in philosophy. The record of a brilliant and subtle mind in action, "The Waste Books" are above all a powerful testament to the necessity, and pleasure, of unfettered thought.
