Philosophy, the "love of wisdom", is the product of our endless
fascination and curiosity about the world - the child of wonder.
Through it, we seek to answer the most fundamental of questions:
How do we know what we know? Does God exist? What is beauty? How
should we live our lives? What am I? In this exhilarating tour,
Peter Cave navigates all the main topics of philosophy with verve
and clarity. Using witty and whimsical examples, including stoical
sofas and Reg, the "regular" human, who just happens to carry his
brain in a rucksack, Cave provides a welcome antidote to the dry
textbook while covering everything from political philosophy to
points of logic. Interspersed with helpful textboxes and
underlining the enduring relevance of philosophy to us all, there
is no better introduction for the aspiring sage.
