Nothing to do with recapitulating well-known philosophical themes with new instrumentation, this is a sequel to an admittedly snide post of a few years back, where I mused that if academic philosophers cannot think of a nice cover for their books, perhaps they should not have written them in the first place.

This time we’re dealing with an uplifting foil to those dismal examples, however, for the cover of Hili Razinsky’s Ambivalence is wonderful.

A beautiful photo, taken by a friend of the author, of an intriguing object in which the agony of choice is nicely balanced by the friendly looking digits (though perhaps for Japanese speakers there is an extra element to this sign post which escapes me). And the image is a perfect match for the content of the book, namely two-mindedness.
