Why have reigning authoritarian rulers been so keen to silence them? This book frames the philosophical search for wisdom as part of the human quest for freedom. Matthew Stewart argues that philosophy is not a body of specialised expertise but an activity—like conversation, making music, or starting a revolution—open to everyone and capable of transforming the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA sweeping new history of philosophy, \u003cem\u003eEverything You Need to Know\u003c\/em\u003e rescues forgotten gems such as Giordano Bruno and Pierre Bayle, challenges our understanding of canonical figures such as Plato and Descartes, and weaves major Eastern and Western traditions into a single global story reaching back to prehistory. Along the way, it offers brisk interpretations of key philosophical subdisciplines such as metaphysics, philosophy of mind, epistemology, ethics, and political philosophy. Lively and accessible, it will be of interest to both novices and seasoned readers in philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67839141675244,"sku":"9781324105893","price":60.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781324105893-everything-you-need-to-know-1.jpg?v=1792611882","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/everything-you-need-to-know-by-matthew-stewart-9781324105893","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
