An Introduction to the Love of Wisdom by James A Harold

An Introduction to the Love of Wisdom by James A Harold

The purpose of this engaging book is twofold: to explain and justify the primary objects and methods of the discipline of philosophy, and to show how philosophy is relevant to a person's life and happiness. Both purposes are implied in the idea of wisdom in its theoretical and existential dimensions. Philosophy is the 'love of wisdom,' and wisdom involves coming into a right relation to the world of beauty, goodness, and truth.

There is always a need for a good textbook which can be used in an introductory course in philosophy, and Professor James Harold's 'An Introduction to the Love of Wisdom' succeeds in meeting that need in many significant ways-- D.Q.
