Items related to An Intelligent Person's Guide to Philosophy
In a personal view of the subject, critic and thinker Roger Scruton focuses on the ideas and arguments that have attracted him to philosophy, showing how philosophy is relevant not just to intellectual questions, but to life in the modern world. Although Scruton does refer to the great philosophers, particularly to Kant and Wittgenstein who greatly influenced him, he does not attempt to give a comprehensive guide to their arguments. Instead he aims to bring philosophy to life.

Review:
'This is a marvellous book which gives back to philosophy the sweep and depth it once had before linguistic analysis reduced it to a study of words and their meaning. Scruton is unafraid to take on the big topics... with imagination and verve.' Jonathan Sacks, Financial Times
