New Philosopher #49: Observation

Description

‘All eyes on you’

Devised, written and edited with the layperson in mind, New Philosopher examines and explains ideas from thinkers across history and the present day, always with the goal of helping its readers live happier, more liberated lives in mind.

This latest edition, titled ‘Observation’, examines the myriad definitions of observing, from the art of seeing to the age of constant distraction and surveillance we live in. How both science and art rely on careful observation, and how the act of seeing is not always innocent. It lands on the conclusion that the true act of observation lies in witnessing rather than consuming and attending rather than judging.
