Why should anybody take an interest in philosophy? Is it just
another detailed study like metallurgy? Or is it similar to
history, literature and even religion: a study meant to do some
personal good and influence our lives? "Engaging and accessible,
this vigorous swansong exemplifies many of Midgley's virtues, and
revisits many of her favourite themes." - The Tablet In her last
published work, Mary Midgley addresses provocative questions,
interrogating the various forms of our current intellectual
anxieties and confusions and how we might deal with them. In doing
so, she provides a robust, yet not uncritical, defence of
philosophy and the life of the mind. This defence is expertly
placed in the context of contemporary debates about science,
religion, and philosophy. It asks whether, in light of rampant
scientific and technological developments, we still need philosophy
to help us think about the big questions of meaning, knowledge, and
value.
