Too Famous

Michael Wolff beschrieb in seinem Bestseller «Feuer und Zorn» die ersten fiebrigen Monate der Trump-Regierung. Nun haben sich ihm wieder hochrangige Mitarbeiter des Weißen Hauses anvertraut: Wolff liefert eine aktuelle Darstellung der letzten Wochen von Trumps Präsidentschaft und der Versuche des Präsidenten und seines Umfelds, das Wahlergebnis vom November 2020 auf jedem nur denkbaren Weg zu korrigieren. Er schreibt über den Wahn eines Verlierers, den Kampf der Anwälte um Rudy Giuliani, den Angriff aufs Kapitol und über das endgültige Ende einer denkwürdigen und gefährlichen Regierungszeit - und interviewt schließlich Trump selbst in Mar-a-Lago. Michael Wolffs Buch schildert von Tag zu Tag, aus erster Hand, jene dramatische Zeit, in der die amerikanische Demokratie auf der Kippe stand. 

"He is FAKE NEWS, a total LOSER, and no one should waste their time or money in buying this boring and obviously fictitious book!" Donald Trump, President of the United States<BR><BR>"Gripping-a veritable harvest of slime, sycophancy and sleaze that tells the story of Trump 2.0, an aggrieved pugilist waging a 'life or death' campaign." New York Times<BR><BR>"Michael Wolff... the shrewdest and most colourful chronicler of the Trump years," Sunday Times<BR><BR>All or Nothing is the final chapter in Wolff's Fire and Fury series. With extraordinary behind-the-scenes access, it follows every turn of Donald Trump's third presidential campaign. <BR><BR>In disgrace after the January 6 attack on the Capitol and sent into exile, Trump immediately sputters back to life. To the shock of the Republican Party leadership, the Trump base has not abandoned him. Hardly a year on, he is as strong as any challenger has ever been. The American establishment is stunned by his comeback and determined to stop it and hold him accountable for his abuses of law and power. Equally, he has vowed retribution on anyone who tries to stand in his way. The 2024 presidential race is elemental: the system breaks Donald Trump or Donald Trump breaks the system.<BR><BR>Michael Wolff tells this story from inside the Trump campaign. Through the sources he has cultivated over his ten years of writing about Donald Trump, including people who are with Trump on a daily basis, as well as his own first-hand reporting, we get a nearly moment-by-moment picture of the pendulum mood swings, the casual cruelties, the demands for obeisance, the preternatural resolve or otherworldly levels of denial, and the certain flashes of showman genius of the new president.<BR><BR>Praise for Fire and Fury, Siege and Landslide<BR><BR>"A book to shake America to its foundations" TheGuardian<BR>"Cruel, unforgiving, muckracking, scandalous. I couldn't stop reading it." The Telegraph<BR><BR>"Hilarious and frightening, and often reads like a Hollywood gossip column" Financial Times<BR><BR>"Smart, vivid and intrepid," The New York Times

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The author of Fire and Fury delivers a breathtaking insider account of the 2024 Trump campaign—undoubtedly the wildest, most unpredictable campaign in U.S. history, including multiple criminal trials, two assassination attempts, and a sudden switch of opponents.<BR><BR>All or Nothing takes readers on a journey accompanying Donald Trump on his return to power as only Michael Wolff, the foremost chronicler of the Trump era, can do it. As Trump cruelly and swiftly dispatches his opponents, heaps fire and fury on the prosecutors and judges who are pursuing him, and mocks and belittles anyone in his way, including the president of the United States, this becomes not just another election but perhaps, both sides say, the last election. The stakes could not be clearer: Either the establishment destroys Donald Trump, or he destroys the establishment.<BR><BR>What soon emerges is a split-screen reality: On one side, a picture that could not be worse for Trump: an inescapable, perhaps mortal legal quagmire; on the other side, an entirely positive political outlook: overwhelming support within his party, ever-rising polling numbers, and lackluster opposition. Through personal access to Trump’s inner circle, Wolff details a behind-the-scenes, revealing landscape of Trumpworld and its unlikely cast of primary players as well as the candidate himself, the most successful figure in American politics since, arguably, Roosevelt, but who might easily seem to be raving mad.<BR><BR>Threading a needle between tragedy and farce, the fate of the nation, the liberal ideal, and democracy itself, All or Nothing paints a gobsmacking portrait of a man whose behavior is so unimaginable, so uncontrolled, so unmindful of cause and effect, that it defeats all the structures and logic of civic life. And yet here in one of the most remarkable comebacks in American political history, Trump is victorious. This is not just a story about politics: It is a vivid exposé of the demons, discord, and anarchy—the fire, fury, and future—of American life under Trump.

Die Frage, welches der vielen divergierenden modernen Logiksysteme "die eine, richtige" Logik enthalt, wird von Logikern gerne zuruckgewiesen: eine solche Logik gebe es nicht. In Michael Wolffs Buch wird diese Frage anders behandelt, namlich durch Anwendung der Methode der logisch-semantischen Sprachanalyse auf die Sprachen der Logik selbst. Diese Analyse zeigt, daa die von Frege, Hilbert und anderen vertretene Ansicht, logisches Vokabular der Syllogistik sei ohne Bedeutungsanderung ersetzbar durch wahrheitsfunktionale und quantorenlogische Ausdrucke beziehungsweise durch Ausdrucke des Klassenkalkuls, unhaltbar ist, da wahrheitsfunktionale Ausdrucke mit komplexen, klassen- und quantorenlogische Ausdrucke mit nicht-formalen syllogistischen Ausdrucken gleichbedeutend sind. Das logische Vokabular der Syllogistik genugt zur Wiedergabe aller gultigen Regeln und Gesetze der deduktiven Logik. Dagegen erweisen sich Regeln und Gesetze, die nur in der Sprache eines der modernen Systeme der "klassischen" und "nicht-klassischen" Logik formulierbar sind, als nicht allgemeingultig, da ihre Gultigkeit nicht ausschliealich auf der Bedeutung des verwendeten logischen Vokabulars beruht. Diese Systeme setzen gemeinsam die Gultigkeit der Syllogistik (als der einen, richtigen Logik) implizit voraus und sind aus ihr ableitbar, wenn divergierende nicht-allgemeingultige Regeln in syllogistischer Sprache formuliert und als gultig angenommen werden. Wie diese Ableitung exakt und luckenlos zu bewerkstelligen ist, wird in Wolffs Buch ausfuhrlich gezeigt. Sie folgt einer schon in der Schule des Aristoteles entwickelten Methode.
