As a Professor of Philosophy, A.C. Grayling believes that philosophy should take an active role in everyday society. Designed for each essay to be read and then the content given food for thought, the topics covered in this book are very pertinent for the modern age. Cover topics on the soul and religion as well as human rights, celebrity, climate change, Grayling leaves no topic unturned. He even ponders ten new commandments for the modern age and offers a rather thought provoking interpretation of that age-old question: “What is the meaning of life?” Highly recommended.
