What is philosophy? is an engaging essay about the essence of Western philosophy, its purpose and possibilities. The author presents the most important philosophical disciplines and positions and discusses the relationship of philosophy with science, literature and history.
The book emerges in a critique of today's academic philosophy: it has lost contact with the general human dimension, which otherwise represents its basis and essence. Only a philosophy that puts our self-awareness at stake can be considered relevant.
