Man Is the Measure: A Cordial Invitation to the Central Problems of Philosophy - Softcover
An intelligently truthful book that explores the uneven landscape of the human intellect.
An accessible introduction to philosophy, this book narrows the gap between the general reader and intellectual inquiry. Its points are illustrated with concrete examples that should call the reader to a higher level of critical thinking and self-perception.
