A serious thematic and historical introduction to philosophy as way of life, the book is organized around four questions: What is philosophy?What is happiness?Is knowledge of God possible?And what is the nature of good and evil?Samuelson connects and compares some of the world s great philosophers to his students, teachers, and himself, revealing that there is a pattern to the search for wisdom, even though it often leads to fascinatingly different places.This is a serious but accessible introduction to philosophy that empowers its readers as philosophers.
