Why Philosophy?
Paolo Diego Bubbio & Jeff Malpas (eds.)
Berlin: De Gruyter (2019)
Abstract
Do we really need philosophy? The present collection of jargon-free essays aims at answering the question of why philosophy matters. Each essay considers the central question from different angles: the unavoidability of doing philosophy, the practical consequences of philosophy, philosophy as a therapy for the whole person, the benefits of philosophy for improving public policy, etc.Author Profiles
