Wijsbegeerte, zei Bertrand Russell, is een hardnekkige poging om zo helder en redelijk mogelijk te denken. De rivier van Herakleitos bespreekt de geschiedenis van de westerse wijsbegeerte met Russells omschrijving als rode draad. Plato, Aristoteles, Descartes, Spinoza, Popper, Rorty en vele anderen passeren de revue en worden in hun context geplaatst. Bovenal maken de auteurs duidelijk welke problemen deze filosofen bezighielden en hoe ze die probeerden op te lossen.
De ontwikkeling van de experimentele methode in de zeventiende eeuw maakte het mogelijk om veel wijsgerige problemen wetenschappelijk aan te pakken. Dat betekende niet dat de wijsbegeerte overbodig werd. Tot vandaag zijn er talloze problemen van ethische, politieke en kennistheoretische aard, waarvan men niet weet hoe men ze strikt wetenschappelijk kan oplossen. Sommigen leiden hieruit af dat onze antwoorden steeds relatief zijn. Maar het behoort net tot de taak van de filosofie op zoek te gaan naar een rationele en objectieve aanpak, ondanks het gebrek aan een wetenschappelijke methode. Tegelijk moet het wijsgerig onderzoek aantonen hoe drogredenen ontstaan, hoe kennis soms verkeerd of onvoldoende gefundeerd wordt en hoe men tot onterechte conclusies komt en verkeerde verbanden legt.
De rivier van Herakleitos beschrijft, op eigenzinnige wijze, hoe de grootste filosofen dat deden en daarbij vaak gebruikmaakten van, of zich spiegelden aan, de wiskunde en wetenschappen van hun tijd.

Etienne Vermeersch (1934) studeerde klassieke filologie en wijsbegeerte aan de Universiteit Gent. Hij doceerde er diverse filosofische vakken en was ook vicerector. Hij publiceerde ondermeer De ogen van de Panda en Van Antigone tot Dolly. In 2008 werd hij door Knack verkozen tot meest invloedrijke intellectueel in Vlaanderen.

Johan Braeckman (1965) studeerde wijsbegeerte en menselijke ecologie aan de Universiteit Gent, de Vrije Universiteit Brussel en de University of California. Hij doceert aan de Universiteit Gent en was ‘Socrates hoogleraar’ aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam. Hij publiceerde boeken over bio-ethiek, Darwin en de evolutietheorie.

Way better than expected - Not a "costume" at all!
Size: X-Large, Color: Christmas Green
I’m going to be honest: I was fully prepared to open this package and find a cheap, shiny, flammable-looking costume that belonged in a discount Halloween store. Buying a tuxedo on Amazon feels like a total gamble, and I was definitely a skeptic. I couldn’t have been more wrong. This suit is actually fantastic. First off, the fabric. It doesn’t have that "plastic" feel I was dreading; it actually feels elegant and has a nice weight to it. The floral pattern is sharp and the colors are vibrant without being "too much." It looks way more expensive than the price tag suggests. The fit was the biggest surprise. I’m always wary of "slim fit" labels, but this hit the mark perfectly. It’s tailored in the right places without feeling like I’m about to burst a seam if I sit down. I originally bought this thinking it might work for a one-off event, but now I’m genuinely excited to break it out for an upcoming casino night and a wedding later this year. If you’re on the fence because you’re worried about Amazon quality, just go for it. This is a legitimate suit that’ll definitely get you some compliments. 10/10 would buy again.

Showstopper! Incredible Fit and Stunning Floral Design!
Size: Medium, Color: Black
I bought this Mgnaie floral tuxedo for a special event, and I was absolutely blown away by the quality and the fit! Getting a slim-fit suit online can be a gamble, but this two-piece set fit perfectly right out of the package. The blazer hugs the shoulders beautifully, and the pants have a modern, sleek profile without being too restrictive or tight. The floral pattern is exactly what I wanted—bold and eye-catching, yet elegant enough for a formal setting like a wedding, prom, or gala. I received compliments all night long! The fabric feels premium, breathable, and comfortable enough to wear and dance in for hours without losing its shape. For the price, you are getting a high-end look that rivals much more expensive designer tuxedos. If you want to stand out from the crowd in the best way possible, I highly recommend this suit. It is an absolute must-have for any formal wardrobe!

Very high quality suit for the price! Might as well buy, then rent.
Color: Deep Grey (Stretch Fabric), Size: X-Small
I bought this for my son for his Prom, as he decided to go last minute. He weighs around 125 pounds and is about 5'11. The XS fit was pretty amazing. As the supplier says, follow the size chart on the second picture. There is also some stretch to the material and the pants have belt loops. The only thing we noticed that we didn't like is that the sleeves were a little large at the opening around the wrist. Since the cuff-links are sew on, there isn't really on easy way to adjust this. All in all, this was a great purchase and I would highly recommend YND suits.

Good buy for sure.
Color: Burgundy (Stretch Fabric), Size: X-Large
The suit looks and feels great for the price I’m 6’3 190-200lb and ordered a size XL. I’m going to have the sleeve dropped a tad bit and waist taken in. The hem is perfect and to my liking. Will be buying 2-3 in the future.
