Paperback. Etat : Good. What is virtue? What is moderation? What is justice? What is courage? What is good? What is piety? Socrates thought that understanding the perspectives of others on these six great questions would help him become a more excellent human being. Following in Socrates's footsteps, Christopher Phillips Johnny Appleseed with a master's degree (Utne Reader) investigates these same questions, beginning in the marketplace of modern-day Athens. He goes on to investigate the timely responses and outlooks of people from different cultures and backgrounds around the world: from Greece and Spain to Japan and Korea, Mexico City, and Chiapas, where the region's indigenous people struggle for fundamental human rights. Phillips also traveled throughout the United States, holding dialogues in diverse communities from New York City to the Navajo Nation. Introducing us to less familiar thinkers in non-Western traditions who were kindred spirits of Socrates, Phillips enlarges our perspectives on life's fundamental questions, creating an innovative world survey of philosophy.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Christopher Phillips goes to the heart of philosophy and Socratic discourse to discover what we're all looking for: the kind of love that makes life worthwhile. That is, love not defined only as eros, or erotic love, but in all its classical varieties. Love of neighbor, love of country, love of God, love of life, and love of wisdom--each is clarified and invigorated in Phillips's Socratic dialogues with people from all walks of life and from all over the world.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. Weaving together philosophy, social science and neuroscience research, personal anecdotes and dialogues, The Philosophy of Childing takes a radically different approach to the traditional boundaries between childhood and adulthood to reveal how rather than lapse into adulthood, we can achieve what the Greeks of old call areteall-around excellencewhen we look to children and youth as a lodestar for our development.Childhood is our primary launching pad, a time of life when learning is more intense than at any other, when we gain the critical knowledge and skills that can help ensure that we remain adaptable. This book weaves together the thinking of philosophers from across the ages who make the unsettling assertion that with the passage of time we are apt to shrink mentally, emotionally, and cognitively. If we follow what has become an all-too-common course, we denature our original naturewhich brims with curiosity, empathy, reason, wonder, and a will to experiment and understandand we regress, our sense of who we are will become fuzzier and everyone in our orbit will pay a price.Mounting evidence shows that we begin our lives with a moral, intellectual, and creative bang, and in this groundbreaking, heavily researched and highly engaging volume, Christopher Phillips makes the provocative case that childhood isn?t merely a state of becoming, while adulthood is one of being, as if we?ve "arrived? and reached the summit. His life-changing proposition is that if we embrace the defining qualities of youth, we?re not destined to become frail, dispirited, or unhinged, we?ll grow in a way defined by wonder, curiosity, imaginativeness, playfulness, and compassionin essence, unlimited potential.…
