Grayling, A. C.,

Philosophy and Life : Exploring the Great Questions of How to Live / A. C. Grayling. - xix, 426 pages ; 24 cm

Includes bibliographical references and index.

From the eminent philosopher, an authoritative and
practical exploration of answering the question- how
should I live my life? What can philosophy tell us about
life and how to live it? What can it tell us about what
matters, about tragedy, grief, ageing, loss; the true
measures of wealth, the consolations that friendship, love
and art can bring? Drawing on the lives, experiences and
writings of a fantastically eclectic range of thinkers -
taking in not only philosophers such as Confucius, Seneca
and Nietzsche, but also giants such as Shakespeare, Freud
and George Eliot and modern thinkers such as Martha
Nussbaum and Simon May - A. C. Grayling reveals the wisdom
and the lessons of history's wisest minds. Putting
technical debates to one side, he deftly reveals their
life-changing and timeless advice, showing how anyone can
lead a fulfilled life.
