Abstract

Excerpt

In his Gorgias Plato has Socrates
explain that his philosophical discussion concerns "a matter in which even
a man of slight intelligence must take the profoundest of interest–namely,
what course of life is best." In
the Apology Socrates justifies his mission by claiming "life
without this sort of examination is not worth living." Thus, there is little doubt that from its
earliest recorded history the discipline of philosophy has been deeply
concerned with how people are to best live their lives. This is also the concern of the nascent
philosophical counseling movement, of which Lou Marinoff
is a leading light. Marinoff’s
The Big Questions: How Philosophy Can Change Your Life is the
third in a series of books on this subject.
