We human beings had no say in existing--we just opened our eyes and
found ourselves here. We have a fundamental need to understand who
we are and the world we live in. Reason takes us a long way, but
mystery remains. When our minds and senses are baffled, faith can
seem justified--but faith is not knowledge. In Ultimate Questions,
acclaimed philosopher Bryan Magee provocatively argues that we have
no way of fathoming our own natures or finding definitive answers
to the big questions we all face. With eloquence and grace, Magee
urges us to be the mapmakers of what is intelligible, and to
identify the boundaries of meaningfulness. He traces this tradition
of thought to his chief philosophical mentors--Locke, Hume, Kant,
and Schopenhauer--and shows why this approach to the enigma of
existence can enrich our lives and transform our understanding of
the human predicament. As Magee puts it, "There is a world of
difference between being lost in the daylight and being lost in the
dark." The crowning achievement to a distinguished philosophical
career, Ultimate Questions is a deeply personal meditation on the
meaning of life and the ways we should live and face death.
