Why should anybody do philosophy? Is it just one more detailed study, like metallurgy or German? Or is it perhaps something more like History and Literature and even - traditionally - Religion, something meant to do them some personal good - a study that could influence their own lives? Renowned moral philosopher Mary Midgley takes on these provocative questions in her most up-to-date statement on the specific forms of many of our current intellectual anxieties and confusions, and how to deal with them, providing a robust defense of philosophy and philosophizing in the process. About the Author Mary Midgley taught Philosophy at Newcastle University from 1962-1980. One of the leading moral philosophers of the 20th century, Midgley has written extensively on human nature, science, ethics, animals, and the environment. Her books include Beast and Man, Heart and Mind, Animals and Why They Matter, Are You an Illusion? and Wickedness. Author: Mary Midgley. Format: Paperback
