Despite criticizing philosophy for its corrosive effects on both natural goodness and civic virtue, Rousseau, argues Laurence D. Cooper, held the philosophic life as an ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCooper expertly unpacks Rousseau’s vivid depiction of the philosophic life and the case for that life as the most natural, the freest, or, in short, the best or most choice-worthy of lives. Cooper focuses especially on a single feature, arguably the defining feature of the philosophic life: the overcoming of the ordinary moral consciousness in favour of the cognitivist view of morality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCooper shows that Rousseau, with his particular understanding and embrace of the philosophic life, proves to be a kind of latter-day Socratic. Thorough and thought-provoking, \u003ci\u003eDreaming of Justice, Waking to Wisdom\u003c\/i\u003e provides vital insight into Rousseau.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000597332204,"sku":"9780226825014","price":66.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/20478423482268.jpg?v=1763288238"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/laurence-d-cooper.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
