Synopsis
This book, by one of Spain's most eminent philosophers, provides a lively and very accessible introduction to philosophy. Written for those who have no prior knowledge of the field, it reveals how the central problems of philosophy remain highly relevant to everyday contemporary life. Savater addresses the questions that we ourselves must face: what is this 'I' that I take for granted? What does it mean for me to be in the world? In what sense am I free? And how does the idea of death affect my life? In his discussion of concepts such as beauty, time and language, Savater frequently refers to earlier philosophers, yet he does so in a way that brings their ideas to life and shows their enduring relevance. Using quotations from the ancient Greeks through to more recent philosophers such as Wittgenstein and Sartre, Savater illustrates his own arguments, while also sketching a basic history of philosophical ideas. The Questions of Life has already been translated into ten languages and has enjoyed enormous success, selling over 70 000 copies in Spain alone. It is an elegant and straightforward book that abstains from specialised terminology. It constitutes an ideal introductory text for those studying philosophy at A-Level or university, and will also be of great interest to the general reader., An engaging and accessible introduction to philosophy Relates the big philosophical questions to the problems in our everyday lives Written by Spains most famous philosopher., This book, by one of Spains most eminent philosophers, provides a lively and very accessible introduction to philosophy.

- u***l (209)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThe item was probably in the described condition prior to being packed. Unfortunately, this company is using packaging material that is either defective or someone was sloppy when putting the book into the packaging. There was glue all over the cover of the book. When I contacted them to complain, they replied telling me about the environmental impact of their packaging. I applaud them for being environmentally sound. But if they can’t ship books without damaging them, they should stop selling!
