Grayling","description":"Thought-provoking short essays by Britain's leading public philosopher that show us how to discover our own answers to life's challenges`While most philosophy is written in abstruse and ponderous prose, Grayling's is a model of clarity and elegance' The Times'An enthusiastic thinker who embraces humour, common sense and lucidity' Independent~ If beauty existed only in the eye of the beholder, would that make it an unimportant quality?~ Are human rights political?~ Can ethics be derived from evolution by natural selection?~ If both sides in a conflict can passionately believe that theirs is the just cause, does this mean that the idea of justice is empty?~ Does being happy make us good? And does being good make us happy?~ Are human beings especially prone to self-deception?As in his previous books of popular philosophy, including the best-selling The Reason of Things and The Meaning of Things, rather than presenting a set of categorical answers Grayling offers instead suggestions for how to think about every aspect of a question, and arrive at one's own conclusions. As a result Thinking of Answers is both an enjoyable and inspirational collection.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56299346329973,"sku":"9781408809532","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781408809532.jpg?v=1762785389","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781408809532","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
