Publisher Description:
«Una interesante combinaci n de memorias y reflexi n filos fica, ...] Christopher Phillips muestra con xito un m todo cautivador para lograr que la filosof a prospere m s ampliamente. - Publishers Weekly

Hace mucho tiempo que la filosof a pareciera haber renunciado a su papel como gu a en la vida de las personas y haber dejado esta funci n a la ciencia, la pol tica, la autoayuda o la cultura del xito econ mico y laboral. Sin embargo, las grandes preguntas de la vida como: qu significado tienen el amor y la amistad?, c mo puedo saber si he actuado correctamente?, por qu me angustia envejecer?, no se responden tan f cilmente desde ninguna de estas trincheras.

En este libro, Christopher Phillips relata su aventura de regresar la filosof a a la gente, «a d nde pertenece , a trav s de la organizaci n de espacios de di logo y convivencia en librer as, caf s, escuelas, incluso en prisiones. En estas tertulias, la pregunta por el sentido de la vida se discute con la misma tranquilidad y alegr a con la que se comparte una taza de caf entre amigos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A bracing, rollicking read about the spark that ignites when people start asking meaningful questions. ―O Magazine

Christopher Phillips is a man on a mission: to revive the love of questions that Socrates inspired long ago in ancient Athens. Like a Johnny Appleseed with a master's degree, Phillips has gallivanted back and forth across America, to caf s and coffee shops, senior centers, assisted-living complexes, prisons, libraries, day-care centers, elementary and high schools, and churches, forming lasting communities of inquiry (Utne Reader). Phillips not only presents the fundamentals of philosophical thought in this charming, Philosophy for Dummies-type guide (USA Today); he also recalls what led him to start his itinerant program and re-creates some of the most invigorating sessions, which come to reveal sometimes surprising, often profound reflections on the meaning of love, friendship, work, growing old, and others among Life's Big Questions.
