| Summary |
"We are all philosophers. We make moral decisions, worry over what is the best thing to do, and contemplate where our lives are going. In a series of original and entertaining sketches, short stories, plays and his own 'philosophical autobiography' Professor Colin Radford expounds the nature and importance of philosophy for our everyday lives." "Readership: sixth-form students, undergraduates on first year philosophy courses, interested teenagers and adults, students on extra-mural and adult education courses."--Jacket |
