Description
|
|
|
|
In Breakfast with Socrates, Robert Rowland Smith brought philosophy down to earth by illuminating how human moments meet big ideas on a regular basis. Here Smith expands that "day in a life" concept to life as a whole. Start with being born: for some, like Sartre, you get off to a bad start. You didn't ask to be born, and there's little point to it anyway, as life is meaningless. And yet for Martin Heidegger, if you hadn't been born, you'd have no sense of your own being, and that would be a tragic loss. Learn to ride a bicycle with Einstein, have your first kiss with Kant, get your first job with Adam Smith, and weather midlife with Dante in this delightful journey through life's absurdities and discoveries.
