"The Joy of Philosophy is a return to some of the perennial questions of philosophy - questions about the meaning of life; about death and tragedy; about the respective roles of rationality and passion in the good life; about love, compassion, and revenge; about honesty, deception, and betrayal; and about who we are and how we think about who we are."--BOOK JACKET.
"Robert C. Solomon offers both a critique of contemporary philosophy and an invitation to engage in philosophy in a different way. Although super-professionalization and a near exclusive emphasis on the thinnest of philosophical formulations have robbed the enduring questions of their visceral power. Solomon attempts to save philosophy from itself and its self-imposed diet of thin arguments and logical analysis to recover the richness and complexity of life in thought."--BOOK JACKET.
