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 Bernard
Williams - 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.
