Philosophical thinking is a skill that is sadly neglected—and sometimes even scorned―in popular culture. Thomas Swanson paints a contrary picture of what philosophical thinking is in this uncommon book sharing how he believes the quest of philosophy really started; in wonder—in the hearts of curious men and women in awe of a wonderful world.After this book you will…
• Have much a deeper appreciation of those mysterious creatures so common in life yet often overlooked: questions, thoughts, and answers. The book starts off with a surprising description of the philosophical spirit, one that is inspired by wonder. Then we follow five main early Greek philosophers, including Plato and Aristotle, learning from them as they together tackle an ancient philosophical question. Finally, the strategies of philosophical thinking are tied together in a charming conversation between a New York taxi driver and a professor of philosophy, who you’ll see become a philosopher before your very eyes! This is an introduction to philosophy and philosophical thinking like no other. |
