Beskrivning

The Little Philosophy Book is a short exploration of major philosophical questions. Robert C. Solomon engages students in an exploration of the self, the universe, and the nature of truth and morality, addressing deep and perennial questions. In a lively and accessible style, with attention to history and other cultures, he poses such questions as 'Who are you, really?' and 'How should we live?' Because no definitive answers are provided, the book encourages students to integrate philosophy into their own lives. It is an ideal primer for any introduction to philosophy course.
