“A series of gripping, personal interviews that bring philosophy to bear on matters of urgency … a source not just of fresh ideas but of moral and political inspiration.” – Kieran Setiya, author of Life is Hard: How Philosophy Can Help Us Find Our Way
“Unlike so many philosophy books, it never strays from what is morally and intellectually urgent … a field guide for how to think in the twenty-first century.” – Andy West, author of The Life Inside: A Memoir of Prison, Family and Philosophy
“A masterful collection of thoughtful, urgent conversations on some of the most pressing issues of the moment.” – Arianne Shahvisi, author of Arguing for a Better World
Much has been written about the “art of living” and it typically conjures up ideas of therapy, meditation, peace, happiness, and so on. But what about the art of living in the midst of all the spectacular messiness generated by an aggressive, anxiety-ridden, acquisitive and lustful species? The conversations that make up this book explore the questions that matter most to us as citizens of increasingly fractious societies and inhabitants of an increasingly fractured planet. They invite us to think anew about the complexities and challenges involved in living a good life in a world characterized by uncertainty and change.
