"Philosophy for Life" is a bold call for the practice of philosophy
in our everyday lives. Philosopher and writer Rupert Read explores
a series of important and often provocative contemporary political
and cultural issues from a philosophical perspective, arguing that
philosophy is not a body of doctrine, but a practice, a vantage
point from which life should be analysed and, more importantly,
acted upon. "Philosophy for Life" is a personal journey that
explores four key areas of society today: Politics, Religion, Art,
and the Environment. Taking tangible examples from modern politics,
from climate change to the war on terror, and culture, from Peter
Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" film trilogy to the poetry of TS
Eliot, Read shows that philosophy is already an active part of
today's world. This captivating and timely book offers a
philosophical response to some of the key questions facing today's
society and encourages us to use philosophy as a kind of therapy.
"Philosophy for Life" shows that we can improve our perspective on
