SynopsisThis excellent introduction to the essential issues that have preoccupied philosophers throughout the centuries provides fresh and engaging portraits of the greatest thinkers on three perennial questions: What can I know? What may I hope? What ought I to do? The author summarizes the thoughts ofPlato and Wittgenstein on the possibility of philosophical knowledge; Kant and Nietzsche on the existence of God; Aristotle and Heidegger on human virtue. The first member of the pair is a builder, the second a destroyer. One explores the promise of a theory, the other the consequences of its ruin. These juxtaposed pairs are not self-contained, however. All six thinkers are engaged in a dialogue with one another on issues that touch our lives directly and profoundly. The author has arranged them in an order that unveils an ever-deepening understanding of the moral, spiritual and intellectual space in which our lives unfold. For anyone wishing to discover, or rediscover, philosophy in its original meaning-"the love of wisdom"-this engaging, clearly written, and accessible volume is an excellent place to start., This excellent introduction to the essential issues that have preoccupied philosophers throughout the centuries provides fresh and engaging portraits of the greatest thinkers on three perennial questions: What can I know?

What can I know? What can I hope for? What should I do? These are three questions that - however much we immerse ourselves in the hustle and bustle of everyday life - we cannot, in the end, escape. They impose themselves, not just in times of personal crisis, but at odd moments and in varied ways. Even those who are not inclined to philosophy or reflective thought will feel their force on occasion. Whether we develop satisfactory answers or not, wrestling with such questions is part of what it means to be human. In this excellent introduction to the essential issues that have preoccupied philosophers for centuries, Michael Kellogg provides fresh an engaging portraits of the greatest thinkers on each of these questions: Plato and Wittgenstein on the possibility of philosophical knowledge; Kant and Nietzsche on the existence of God; and Aristotle and Heidegger on human virtue.
