Filosofía

In this stimulating and combative book, Helen Beebee and Michael Rush break a spear again to rescue philosophy from the stereotypes they have wanted and want to bury it in the labels of the nebulous, the abstruse and the inoperative. But, just the opposite, philosophy takes its object of reflection from real situations and deals with matters of a practical nature, be it the examination of human nature, participation in political debate, the relationship it must have with science and religion, or the nature of our moral choices: the four axes on which the authors turn their exposition. Philosophy matters because it is about how to live and make sense of the world we inhabit through a series of tools and techniques that help us examine our arguments and uncover our hidden biases, in order to make better-informed choices about what to believe. and how to act.
