. This is a memoir of sorts by a British television producer, politician, and university teacher who was academically trained in philosophy in England and the United States.
What sets this above an ordinary, dry treatment of philosophy is the writing: lucid, luxurious, and intimate: as though the author is sitting in your living room, sharing his thoughts and experiences over a glass of wine. The author employs anecdote and carefully crafted explication to lead the reader through the big and original philosophical questions of life.
A book in which to soak your mind. .
