Description
From the eminent philosopher, an answer to the big question: how should I live my life?
How should I live my life? What values shall I live by? What sort of person should I be? What shall I aim for?
In this summation of a lifetime thinking and writing about these great questions, A. C. Grayling explores with clarity and depth the ideas that each of us must use in answering them for ourselves.
Drawing on the lives, experiences and works of a fantastically eclectic range of thinkersβtaking in not only philosophers such as Confucius, Seneca and Nietzsche, but also authors from Shakespeare to Ursula LeGuin, and modern thinkers such as Martha Nussbaum and Bernard WilliamsβPhilosophy and Life brings together wisdom from across eras and continents in a tour de force on the philosophy of how to live your life.
