In Dear Friend, you must change your life, we see some of the most
fascinating thinkers in history at their most private and profound,
reaching out to a friend, sharing, testing, confirming discoveries
about the complexity of life, how to rise above its hardships and
enjoy its pleasures. We see writers embrace the roots of
philosophical thought afresh, by grappling with real, lived
experience, giving us unique insight into their ideas and
worldviews that their more polished, public work often does not
provide. We see artists sound the foundations of their artistic and
moral integrity. Ranging from Seneca and Marcus Aurelius to Flora
Tristan and Walter Benjamin, to Elizabeth of Bohemia and Giacomo
Leopardi, to Mahatma Gandhi and Maurice Bejart, we see how the
philosophical letter as a form of thinking, and thinking freely,
spans across the ages and often forms some of the most interesting
and lively of philosophical writings. Each letter is given a
contextualising preface by an expert that brings out the reason
this particular letter is a philosophical letter for life. As such,
Dear Friend, you must change your life provides a unique
introduction to an array of thinkers throughout history as well as
an argument for philosophy as conversation, a conversation which
has been ongoing for centuries.
