In What Philosophy Can Do, Gary Gutting leaves the ivory tower to
tackle difficult questions in everyday life and shows how
philosophy can be used as a method for interrogating our
world—and one another. He looks at why today’s political
debates are so polarised, why scientific research on happiness does
not make us happier and whether there are convincing reasons to
believe—or not believe—in God. Gutting takes the most
powerful—and divisive—forces in our society: politics, science,
religion, art and capitalism—and applies a philosopher’s
scalpel to reveal thoughtful ways to look at vexing issues. He
introduces readers to analytical tools, from inductive and
deductive logic to the principle of charity, that they can apply to
news events and policy debates. Gutting underlines philosophy’s
great promise for enriching public discussions about the most
important issues in human life.
