Content

In de Griekse mythologie was Procrustes de wrede eigenaar van een klein landgoed tussen Athene en Eleusis. Hij had een merkwaardig gevoel voor gastvrijheid: hij ontvoerde reizigers, bood hun een copieuze maaltijd aan en nodigde ze uit de nacht door te brengen in een bijzonder bed. Hij eiste dat ze precies in het bed pasten: van degenen die te lang waren, hakte hij met een bijl de benen af; degenen die te klein waren, rekte hij uit.

Elk aforisme in dit boek heeft betrekking op een of ander Procrustesbed. Wanneer we oplopen tegen de grenzen van onze kennis, persen we het leven in heldere, handzame ideeën en voorverpakte verhalen, soms met gevaarlijke gevolgen. We zijn ons er bovendien niet van bewust dat we onszelf op deze wijze misleiden.

Deze collectie aforismen en overpeinzingen raakt de kern van Nassim Nicholas Talebs ideeën over hoe we omgaan, en zouden moeten omgaan, met wat we niet weten.

Book condition
An important factor of a second-hand book is the condition of the book. The buyer may not be surprised. Always mention damages or defects. We use a system with 3 stars:
The book is acceptable: you have used it to study and made notes and markings – but everything is still readable. The cover and pages are in good condition.
The book still looks good: there are a few notes in it and you marked it. There are hardly any signs of use on the cover and pages.
The book is (almost) new: you have not written or marked in it. There are no signs of use on the cover and pages.
