Sumario: | In this powerful re-examination of the purpose and direction of philosophy for the next century, Anthony O''Hear engages with our most pressing questions: Is there knowledge outside of science? Does religion still have meaning and coherence today? What is beauty, and why do so few contemporary artists believe in it?

O''Hear argues that philosophy should work with the grain. |
