Philosophy Wise re-invigorates philosophy’s initial impulse to help people live more meaningful lives. Written for philosophers and non-philosopher’s alike, it shows you how to gain clarity and wisdom by using the lens of philosophy to approach your everyday concerns. 20 of the world’s greatest thinkers are presented as guides, each offering you their vision of how to live a more purposeful and satisfying life. Experiment and choose from a kaleidoscope of timeless ideas to gain a deeper understanding of what matters most to you. For too long, philosophy’s messages have been obscured by academic jargon and hidden behind university walls. Philosophy Wise liberates philosophy’s revelations to bring the transformative power of philosophy into your everyday life. Draw from the wisdom of ancient and modern thinkers and use the insights in Philosophy Wise to inspire, enrich, and enlighten your life’s journey.
