A refreshing distillation of concepts regarding the human condition, from one of the most well-known and popular philosophers in the United Kingdom. Thinking about life, what it means, and what it holds does not have to be a pessimistic experience, but can be enlightening and rejuvenating. A life worth living is one that is informed and considered, therefore a degree of philosophical awareness in the inevitable aspects of the human condition is inherently important, and this approach will help us genuinely address personal dilemmas.
This book is an accessible, vibrant, and thought-provoking series of interconnected commentaries, based on A. C. Grayling's "The Last Word" column in the GUARDIAN. Its aim is not to persuade readers to accept a specific philosophical view or theory, but to help us explore the wonderful range of concepts that can be drawn from an inexhaustibly rich history of philosophical thought.
