A short philosophical treatise for young people. What one needs to know about philosophy to understand the world we live in.
"Some friends asked me to imagine a philosophy course for both parents and children. This compelled me to get to the heart of the matter, and this little book is the direct result of that improvised seminar. It is an unbiased approach to a neophyte public, one that nonetheless rejects the imperatives of a simplification which might deform the presentation of the great visions of the world. Why study philosophy? Because without it, we are unable to comprehend the world we live in. Though we are unaware of it, the entirety of our thoughts, our convictions, and our values are part of the great conceptions of the world that have already been built and elaborated upon. And it is indispensable to know them. Beyond that, great works of thought can simply help us to enrich our lives, and to live more freely. Learning to live; to overcome fear; to go beyond the banality of our daily existence, of boredom, and of passing timethese were the primary objectives of the schools of ancient Greece.” Luc Ferry
