A fascinating philosophical-literary reflection, inviting us to examine the priorities in our own lives. What do we think about real life? About a retreat in untouched nature? About death and immortality? Through the lives of our children? These questions also preoccupy the fictional poet and philosopher Moritz Brandt. His friend Aaron sorts through his estate, coming across diaries and essays in which Brandt reflects on real life. The more he delves into these texts, however, the more frequently Aaron asks himself: Where does the desire to change, to become real, come from? Michael Hampe masterfully links narrative and reflection so that we recognize how the distinction between appearance and reality prevents us from coming to terms with our lives. Hampe's text helps to recognize how the distinction between appearance and reality prevents us from really coming to terms with our lives.

The book offers an analysis of Joachim Jungius’ Texturæ Contemplatio - a hitherto-unpublished manuscript written in German and Latin that deals with weaving, knitting and other textile practices, attempting to present as well various fabrics and textile techniques in a scientifical and even mathematical framework. The book aims to provide the epistemological, technical and historic framework for Jungius’ manuscript, inspecting fabrics, weaving techniques as well as looms and other textile machines in Holy Roman Empire during the Early Modern Period. It also offers a unique investigation of the notion and metaphor of ‘texture’ during this period, and explores, within the wider context of the ‘meeting’ or ‘trading zones’ thesis, the relations between artisans and natural philosophers during the 17th century. The book is of interest to historians of philosophy and mathematics, as well as historians of technology.
