Why do philosophers ask "why"? Because they want to know. Because
they love knowledge. Taken literally, philosophy is nothing more
(nor less) than the love (philo) of wisdom (sophia)-and who doesn't
love wisdom? All human societies have developed systems of
knowledge to help them understand our place in the universe and to
satisfy our distinctively human curiosity. However, while standard
histories of philosophy tend to focus on canonical figures and
their "big ideas," ideas don't spontaneously come into existence in
isolation from a context. They occur in relation to other ideas,
had by other people. This book emphasises the collaborative nature
of philosophy, showcasing the way that thinkers' thoughts become
intertwined, and focuses on how philosophy-even in its most
abstract form-intersects with everyday concerns, integrating older
philosophical discussions with newer debates.
