In this book:
"Philosophy is like fish: best presented without too much adornment; hard to get just right and easy to ruin."
What's the point of it all? In Philosophy: All That Matters, bestselling philosopher Julian Baggini shows how abstract ideas feed into the most important existential questions of all. He tells the story of Philosophy, bringing together and interlinking all its different areas, to create what is perhaps the first non-historical narrative of the subject -- one that takes you right to its heart.
It places philosophy firmly at the centre of what makes us human. From ethics and metaphysics, to the philosophy of science and religion, Baggini explains what makes us different to other species, why philosophy lies at the heart of that difference, and why that matters.
This accessible and readable book will appeal to both students and general readers, giving a fascinating taste of philosophy -- and what matters most within it.
