Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Filmmaker Errol Morris offers his perspective on the world and his powerful belief in the necessity of truth. In 1972, philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn threw an ashtray at Errol Morris. This book is the result. At the time, Morris was a graduate student. Now we know him as one of the most celebrated and restlessly probing filmmakers of our time, the creator of such classics of documentary investigation as The Thin Blue Line and The Fog of War. Kuhn, meanwhile, wasand, posthumously, remainsa star in his field, the author of The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, a landmark book that has sold well over a million copies and introduced the concept of paradigm shifts to the larger culture. And Morris thought the idea was bunk. The Ashtray tells whyand in doing so, it makes a powerful case for Morriss way of viewing the world, and the centrality to that view of a fundamental conception of the necessity of truth. For me, Morris writes, truth is about the relationship between language and the world: a correspondence idea of truth. He has no patience for philosophical systems that aim for internal coherence and disdain the world itself. Morris is after bigger game: he wants to establish as clearly as possible what we know and can say about the world, reality, history, our actions and interactions. Its the fundamental desire that animates his filmmaking, whether hes probing Robert McNamara about Vietnam or the oddball owner of a pet cemetery. Truth may be slippery, but that doesnt mean we have to grease its path of escape through philosophical evasions. Rather, Morris argues powerfully, it is our duty to do everything we can to establish and support it. In a time when truth feels ever more embattled, under siege from political lies and virtual lives alike, The Ashtray is a bracing reminder of its value, delivered by a figure who has, over decades, uniquely earned our trust through his commitment to truth. No Morris fan should miss it. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780226922690
