Philosophy
Opis
Philosophy, the "love of wisdom", is the product of our endless fascination and curiosity about the world. Through it, we seek to answer the most fundamental questions of all: How do we know what we know? Does God exist? How should we live our lives? In this exhilarating tour through the subject's big ideas, Peter Cave not only presents the thinkers who have shaped our intellectual world, but also explores the enduring importance of philosophy of today. Using witty examples, from Reg the "regular" human who just happens to carry his brain in a rucksack to Casanova Casper and his conflicting desires, this is a welcome antidote to the dry philosophy textbook and a perfect introduction for aspiring sages everywhere.
