Philosophy Live
No. 8 JANUARY 2011
Is philosophy that thing with which and without which everything stays the same? Presenting philosophy in its pure state, outside of historical or academic contexts, this book puts readers in touch with what has characterised philosophy in the last 2500 years, so that they can assess it for themselves. Dealing with issues that are unlikely to be resolved by science, philosophy has offered humanity a remarkable example of the insistence on thinking when giving up is the usual attitude. And it is not just a matter of insisting on thinking, but of wanting to think as rigorously as possible. The public importance of knowing how to think rigorously when solutions are not easy should be obvious, but it is not. This book contributes to making it so.
