The Joy of Philosophy: Thinking Thin versus the Passionate Life
Solomon, Robert C. (Quincy Lee Centennial Professor of Philosophy and a Member of the Academy of Distinguished Teachers, Quincy Lee Centennial Professor of Philosophy and a Member of the Academy of Distinguished Teachers, University of Texas at Austin)
In this work, Robert Solomon tries to put the fun back in philosophy, beginning with a re-evaluation of Socrates and the nature of philosophy and defending the passionate life in contrast to the calm life of thoughtful contemplation so often held up as an ideal by traditional philosophers.
