Book Details
As politics slides toward impulsivity, and outrage bests rationality, how can philosophy help us critically engage with the world?
"How to Think Like A Philosopher" is a revelatory exploration of the methods, tenets and attitudes of thought that guide philosophy, and how they can be applied to our own lives. Drawing on decades of enquiry and a huge range of interviews, Julian Baggini identifies twelve key principles that promote incisive thinking. Pay attention; question everything; seek clarity, not certainty: these are just a few of philosophy's guiding maxims which can be applied to everything from understanding the impact of climate change to correctly appraising our own temperaments.Both a fresh introduction to philosophy covering canonical and contemporary philosophers, and an essential, practical guide to good thinking, "How to Think Like a Philosopher" shows us the way to a more humane, balanced and rational approach to thinking, to politics, and to life.
