An Intelligent Person's Guide to Philosophy, Paperback/Roger Scruton

Descriere & specificații

``Philosophy's the 'love of wisdom', can be approached in two ways: by doing it, or by studying how it has been done,`` so writes the eminent philosopher Roger Scruton. In this user-friendly book, he chooses to introduce philosophy by doing it. Taking the discipline beyond theory and ``intellectualism,`` he presents it in an empirical, accessible, and practical light. The result is not a history of the field but a vivid, energetic, and personal account to guide the reader making his or her own venture into philosophy. Addressing a range of subjects from freedom, God, reality, and morality, to sex, music, and history, Scruton argues philosophy's relevance not just to intellectual questions, but to contemporary life.
