Description: At some point in our lives, we each ask ourselves the big questions. How we respond has great impact on our lives. Some accept easy answers or even try avoiding answering them —while others go on a quest to make their lives a meaningful adventure.
In Philosophy for Real Life, we follow Dr. Stephen Hicks on a philosophical journey through these questions:
* What is the good?
* Do we really need philosophy?
* What is the role of reason in life—and its difference with faith?
* What are emotions?
* Why is integrity essential to human dignity?
* Is ambition good?
* What is art and the source of its power?
* What is the connection of philosophy to politics?
* What is genuine individualism?
* What is freedom, really?
