Zusatztext "In this beautifully written and erudite book! Dmitri Nikulin brings philosophy to life in a double sense. He shows how the method of dialectic originates in the open-ended practice of dialogue! and he engages us in a lively dialogue with thinkers of the past! both ancient and modern. Nikulin's narrative is full of original insights and surprises! such as a defense of the philosophical dignity of interruption (for which many of us have long been waiting)."
