James M. Ambury & Tushar Irani 
Philosophy as a Way of Life [PDF ebook] 
Historical, Contemporary, and Pedagogical Perspectives

Підтримка

In the ancient world, philosophy was understood to be a practical guide for living, or even itself a way of life. This volume of essays brings historical views about philosophy as a way of life, coupled with their modern equivalents, more prevalently into the domain of the contemporary scholarly world.
* Illustrates how the articulation of philosophy as a way of life and its pedagogical implementation advances the love of wisdom
* Questions how we might convey the love of wisdom as not only a body of dogmatic principles and axiomatic truths but also a lived exercise that can be practiced
* Offers a collection of essays on an emerging field of philosophical research
* Essential reading for academics, researchers and scholars of philosophy, moral philosophy, and pedagogy; also business and professional people who have an interest in expanding their horizons
