With direct comments, without beating around the bush, the author presents us with a sensible way of looking at the world, without illusions.\u003cbr\u003eI recommend it to everyone.\u003cbr\u003e- Alexandre Kohls \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne of the best books I've ever read! Certainly a milestone in my reflective path - a profound milestone in my life! The work is impressively clear and sensible. Always concerned to limit himself to affirming only what the facts allow us to affirm, overflowing with lucid and useful analogies (in the style of Dawkins, with Nietzschean ardor), Master Cancian leads us down a path on which it is almost always impossible to disagree. I was very impressed by the similarity between my reflections and Cancian's; proof that if we stick rationally to the facts (whoever they are, wherever they are), we will almost always reach the same conclusions. But, I must admit, the author has had the courage to go much further than I have been able to... so far! And I feel grateful to fate for having made it possible for me to read such a magnificent work as \"The Emptiness of the Machine\"!\u003cbr\u003e- Hades Climene \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI gave it five stars because the book is incredibly logical and rational. The author writes in a completely amoral way, deviating from all the prejudices of human subjectivity, making the reader reach an absurdly lucid view of existence and worldly things (and that can be a problem).\u003cbr\u003eLike the author, I have no religion, I don't believe in gods or any other metaphysical belief, and that in itself is reason enough to lose sight of the meaning of life. However, even though I already have this mentality, I was extremely distressed by the avalanche of reality that this book unloaded on me. I thought about giving it 3 or 4 stars precisely for this reason, but it would be mediocrity to blame the author for telling the truth, because, as Lacan said: \"Everyone reaches the truth they are able to bear\".\u003cbr\u003eIn all honesty, I wouldn't recommend reading this book to people who are going through depression or something similar (like me). On the other hand, if you have strong convictions, unshakeable beliefs or don't want to slowly chew and digest what is written in this book, then fine, you can read it for mere entertainment.\u003cbr\u003e- Diego Schlosser\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.65 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 05, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50410969202925,"sku":"9786500739046","price":20.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/products\/the-emptiness-of-the-machine-nihilism-and-other-abysses-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
