What if modern reason empowers us only at the cost of impoverishing
thought? What if an ancient practice of philosophy could be
rediscovered as a way of living? In a rural retreat in northern
England, nine philosophers held regular meetings to discuss the
nature of philosophy as a way of life. Posing a formidable
challenge to the dominance of objective reasoning, they sought to
build together a conception and practice of reasoning that is
deeply engaged with the meaning of life, with dialogue, and with
self-transformation. Here, as spokesman for this group, Philip
Goodchild offers his readers insight into these symposium.
Eschewing convention, these essays offer profound meditations on
the meaning of life, reason, inwardness, virtue, love, and God.
Echoing Plato, Kierkegaard, and Weil, this bold yet imperfect
struggle for authenticity performs philosophy as a spiritual
exercise, effects a new critique of pure reason, and changes what
it means to think today. Like Socrates himself, this book offers a
challenge to all.
