The philosophical life Paperback
In The Philosophical Life, James Miller offers engaging biographies of twelve renowned philosophers, from Plato, who risked his reputation to tutor a tyrant, to Nietzsche, who wrestled with the human condition before descending into madness. With lively anecdotes and insightful analysis, Miller brings their lives and ideas to life, showing their enduring relevance today.
Miller, chair of liberal studies at the New School for Social Research and author of The Passion of Michel Foucault, explores how these thinkers addressed the most fundamental questions of what it means to live a good life. His work underscores the ongoing importance of philosophy in understanding ourselves and the world.
