Martha Barnette has spent two decades as the co-host of A Way with Words, lauded by Mary Norris in The New Yorker as “a virtual treasure house” and “‘Car Talk’ for Lexiphiles.” Over that time, she’s developed a keen sense of what fascinates people about language. They are curious about etymology and revel in slang, are surprised by regional vocabulary and celebrate linguistic diversity. Idioms both puzzle and delight word lovers, and they are eager to share family neologisms and that weird phrase Grandma always used to say.

Mysticism and Logic. The first essay, which gives its title to the volume, endeavors to define the respective spheres of logic and mysticism. Bertrand Russell describes this and the four essays that follow as “entirely popular”.

Par une analyse logique minutieuse, Orobio expose les contradictions dans la philosophie matérialiste de Jan Bredenburg, affirmant que Spinoza et ses contemporains promeuvent un nouvel athéisme panthéiste, remplaçant Dieu par la "Nature" et ignorant les fondements de la logique, de la grammaire, de la métaphysique et de l'ontologie.

Isaac Orobio defiende la convergencia de la ciencia y la religión, argumentando que ambas pueden coexistir con verdades simultáneas y lógicas que permiten comprender la existencia de un ser necesario y la creación a partir de infinitas posibilidades. La obra de Orobio es esencial para quienes buscan entender la interacción entre razón, fe y existencia, siendo una lectura indispensable para filósofos, teólogos y cualquier persona interesada en los fundamentos clásicos de la fe en relación con la razón.

Le constat est implacable : l’être humain est un sujet parlant... et qui parle beaucoup ! Nombreux sont ceux et celles qui se sentent obligés de discourir, de causer, de deviser, mus par une impulsion, celle de rompre un silence parfois suspect, souvent gênant.
