The Deepest Human Life by Scott Samuelson
Exploring the works of some of history's important thinkers in the context of the everyday struggles of students, the author guides you through the quandaries of our existence and shows just how enriching the examined life can be.
"As a freshman in college, Samuelson fought with classmates over whether philosophy was essential for a meaningful lifeFortunately, he's still fighting. Defying the widespread perception of philosophy as an academic specialty, Samuelson urges readers to join him in a humanizing intellectual adventure, one that begins with Socrates's frank profession of ignorance.... But perhaps no one teaches more than Samuelson's own diverse college students-a wine-loving bicyclist, a sleep-deprived housewife, a monk-faced factory worker. These seemingly ordinary people underscore the most important lesson of all: philosophy matters for everyone." (Booklist)
Scott Samuelson lives in Iowa City, Iowa, where he teaches philosophy at Kirkwood Community College and is a movie reviewer, television host, and sous-chef at a French restaurant on a gravel road.
