Philosophy at its best is an activity more than a body of knowledge. In an ancient sense, done right, it is a healing art. It¿s intellectual self-defense. It¿s a form of therapy. But it¿s also much more. Philosophy is map-making for the soul, cartography for the human journey. It¿s an important navigational tool for life that too many modern people try to do without. Philosophy For Dummies is for anyone who has ever entertained a question about life and this world. In a conversational tone, the book's author ¿ a modern-day scholar and lecturer ¿ brings the greatest wisdom of the past into the challenges that we face now.
