Description

Can nature make us happy? How can we know anything? What is justice? Why is there evil in the world? What is the source of truth? Is it possible that there is no God? Can we really believe in what we see? These are questions that have intrigued the great thinkers of global thought throughout history and still resonate with all of us today. They are questions that can teach us about the way we live, work, relate to one another, and view the world. Here, one of the greatest living philosophers, Leszek Kolakowski, explores the essence of these ideas, introducing figures such as Socrates, Thomas Aquinas, Descartes, and Nietzsche, focusing on an important philosophical question from each of them. Reflecting on good and evil, truth and beauty, faith and the soul, or free will and conscience, Kolakowski shows that these timeless ideas remain at the core of our existence.
