The good, the true and the beautiful

Sinopse

"The Good, the True and the Beautiful asks questions about who we are and what makes life worthwhile. Michael Boylan offers an introduction to philosophy, exploring issues to do with ethics, knowledge and aesthetics and how they relate to our everyday lives. He proposes an understanding of the good, the true and the beautiful that seeks to answer many of the questions that have traditionally occupied philosophers. Using thought experiments to engage the reader in 'doing' philosophy, Boylan explores what it means to be good, true and beautiful in today's world."--Jacket.
