For philosophers today to ignore this dimension of philosophy is not to ignore an accidental subset of the subject that can be divorced from its essential nature - it is to ignore philosophy itself. The articulation of philosophy as a way of life and its pedagogical implementation advances the love of wisdom; it is not merely an addendum to it. But how might we convey the love of wisdom as not only a body of dogmatic principles and axiomatic truths but also a lived exercise that can be practiced? This volume of essays brings historical views about philosophy as a way of life, coupled with their modern equivalents, more prevalently into the domain of the contemporary scholarly world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989779136741,"sku":"NP9781119746867","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781119746867.jpg?v=1761785436","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/philosophy-as-a-way-of-life-isbn-9781119746867","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
