Philosophy and life : exploring the great questions of how to live
Grayling, A. C.2023
Books
As Grayling explains, everyone has a philosophy of life, but most people do not know that they have one, because they imbibed it unconsciously from society, parents, schools, friends. What are the assumptions of that unconscious philosophy, and the reasons for living according to it? If you really thought about your life and the philosophy that underlies it, what changes would you make? Drawing on the lives, experiences and works of a fantastically eclectic range of thinkers - taking in not only philosophers such as Confucius, Seneca and Nietzsche, but also authors from Shakespeare to Ursula LeGuin, and modern thinkers such as Martha Nussbaum and Simon May - this work brings together wisdom from across eras and continents in a tour de force on the philosophy of being human in a complicated world.
