'Grayling brings satisfying order to daunting subjects' Steven
Pinker 'An enthusiastic thinker who embraces humour, common sense
and lucidity' Independent _______________ From the eminent
philosopher, an authoritative exploration of the great questions of
how to live 'There is a question everyone has to ask and answer -
in fact, has to keep on asking and keep on answering. It is, 'How
should I live my life?' meaning, 'What values shall I live by?
'What sort of person should I be? What shall I aim for?' The great
majority of people do not ask this question, they merely answer it
unthinkingly, by adopting conventional views of life and what
matters in it...' From Stoics to existentialists, in philosophy and
literature, discussion of the philosophy of life -- of love and
death, of courage, fortitude and wisdom -- challenges us all to
think about what kinds of life are truly worth living. In this
summation of a lifetime thinking and writing about this great
question, A. C. Grayling explores with clarity and depth the ideas
that each of us must use in answering it for ourselves. 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 -
Philosophy and Life brings together wisdom from across eras and
continents in a tour de force on the philosophy of being human in a
complicated world.
