BOOK DESCRIPTION
The wisdom of famous philosophers distilled into practical lessons for modern listeners.
For centuries, philosophers have examined the “big questions” of human life, pondering everything from ethics to the definition of reality. Their insights and insights are powerful and innovative, but often inaccessible and far too academic for most listeners.
In The Philosophy Cure: Lessons on Living from the Great Philosophers, scholar and expert in Cartesian philosophy, Laurence Devillairs has stripped away the convoluted language, translating the fundamental ideas and wisdom of some of the most eminent philosophers into simple concepts for modern listeners. She skillfully reveals that far from being impractical or vaguely academic, philosophy is, at its heart, a deeply useful discipline, ultimately concerned with what it means to live a good and fulfilling life.
Perfect for listeners intrigued by philosophy, but not interested in listening to dense academic texts, The Philosophy Cure reveals the true wisdom of the most famous philosophers, from Socrates to Kant and Descartes.
