For those among you who read Italian or French, I would like to point
out a very interesting recent book I just found. It is about the story
of 'discovery of the shadow', viewed from a philosophical point of view:
The author is Roberto Casati (a French CNRS researcher)
the French version is:
"La découverte de l'ombre"
"De Platon à Gallilée, l'histoire d'une énigme qui a fasciné les
grands esprits de l'humanité"
Publisher: Albin Michel (Bibliothèque Albin Michel Idées) - 2002
http://www.albin-michel.fr
ISBN: 2-226-13075-6
while the (original) Italian version is:
"La scoperta dell'ombra"
Publisher: Arnaldo Mondadori Editore, 2000.
Please note that I have no connections whatsoever with the author nor
the pulishers.
Kind regards,
