Opis

For centuries, philosophers, theologians, moralists, and ordinary people have asked: How should we live? What makes for a good life?

Recenzje

this book makes you work, be self-reflective, and actually do philosophy. It helps you hone these important life skills. Thomas Hurka presents dense philosophical themes with clear diction and offers interesting examples that are not bogged down with technical jargon or require specialized knowledge. Overall, this text is a welcomed addition to the scholarship and practice of teaching contemplation-in-action, and I recommend it with enthusiasm. Robert J. Parmach, Philosophical Practice
