BOOK / FILONIMO: SCHOPENHAUER'S HEDGEHOG. A. Briere-Haquet

Philosophy / Illustrated / Children's

Adapting famous animal parables, the Filonimo collection seeks to put the greatest names in philosophy into the hands of younger readers. Because we are never too young to start thinking, but never too old either, adult readers are welcome too.

Is it true that we are all a bit like hedgehogs? Schopnehauer, the German philosopher of the last century, explains: during the winter, porcupines huddle together to keep warm, but they soon end up hurting each other, so they take a step back. That's when they start to feel cold, so they huddle together again. And so, the porcupines live their lives moving away and closer together. A story about what it takes to live in society and how to find the right distance to be with others without disturbing them.
