Dr Raj Persaud in conversation with Scott Samuelson author of 'The Deepest Human Life - An Introduction To Philosophy for Everyone'

FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PRESS WEBSITE:

The Deepest Human Life

AN INTRODUCTION TO PHILOSOPHY FOR EVERYONE

The Deepest Human Life
 Sometimes it seems like you need a PhD just to open a book of philosophy. We leave philosophical matters to the philosophers in the same way that we leave science to scientists. Scott Samuelson thinks this is tragic, for our lives as well as for philosophy. In The Deepest Human Life he takes philosophy back from the specialists and restores it to its proper place at the center of our humanity, rediscovering it as our most profound effort toward understanding, as a way of life that anyone can live.
