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.
