Philosophy is not a closed club or a secret society. It's for
anyone who thinks big questions are worth talking about. To get us
started, Douglas Groothuis unpacks seven pivotal sentences from the
history of western philosophy-a few famous, all short, none
trivial. Included are: "The unexamined life is not worth
living."-Socrates "You have made us for yourself, and our hearts
are restless until they rest in you."-Augustine "I think, therefore
I am."-Decartes "The heart has reasons, that reason knows nothing
of."-Pascal Sentences from Protagoras, Aristotle and Kierkegaard
round out this quick tour. Since every philosopher has a story, not
just a series of ideas, Groothuis also offers a bit of each one's
life to set the stage. The seven sterling sentences themselves,
while they can't tell us all there is to know, offer bridges into
other lands of thought which can spark new ideas and adventures.
And who knows where they might lead? The accessible primers in the
Introductions in Seven Sentences collection act as brief
introductions to an academic field, with simple organization: seven
key sentences that give readers a birds-eye view of an entire
discipline.
