The World's Smallest Tractatus




The title of this post, the miniaturized Tractatus itself, and the photos are from Mind Workshop member emeritus and NYC correspondent Zed Adams.

Zed also made tiny editions of Cavell's World Viewed and McDowell's review of Bernard Williams's Ethics and the Limits of Philosophy.

THE History of Western Philosophy?


Designer Paul Sahre redesigned the cover of Bertrand Russell's A History of Western Philosophy for Touchstone Press in 2002.

Last year he realized that he designed a typo onto the cover.

It's fitting that the mistake concerns a definite description.

The typo could have been worse .

(Thanks to Wyeth for the tip.)
