Ben Richards Bücher

Ludwig Wittgensteins originelles und faszinierendes Denken reichte weit über die Grenzen der Philosophie hinaus und machte weltweit Schule. Die fundierte Einführung in sein Leben und seine Arbeiten erläutert präzise und klar die Grundzüge, die Konsequenzen, aber auch die Grenzen von Wittgensteins Gedankengut.

Kerry, not yet quite over the death of her boyfriend Gary, has returned to college as a mature student. Her friend and flatmate Marco watches Kerry's progress with a mixture of love and envy while he drifts in and out of jobs, relationships and drugs. Then Robin appears - a fellow student who represents new possibilities to Kerry, but means only trouble to Marco.

Kerenza Penhaligan is a struggling actress: once feted as a future star she is now reduced to taking embarrassing bit parts in TV dramas and standing in for other, more successful actors at read-throughs. Wondering where her career has gone, unable to pay her rent, and with her self-confidence flagging, she struggles to keep sight of the boundary between right and wrong. When she steps in to break up a violent confrontation in a bar, Kerenza finds herself caught up in a twilight world of conmen and cheats, of dubious moral choices, and temptingly high rewards. She meets the enigmatic Evan, who offers her a different avenue for her skills - in which her acting talent ends up proving far more useful off the stage than on it. Kerenza soon learns, however, that there's no such thing as a victimless con?
