Aerobics for the Mind: Practical Exercises in Philosophy That Anybody Can Do

Philosophy begins in wonder.-AristotleRemember when you were a child and incessantly asked your parents Why? You still had that childhood gift of wondering about everything from the simple Why cant I touch the stove eye when its red? to the most profound questions people can ask Why cant I see God if Hes real?A common perception of philosophers is of the wizened old guru sitting on a mountain top contemplating his navel; or worse a stodgy boring intellectual that everyone avoids at parties. But philosophy at its best is a joyous profession. Philosophers never stop wondering why? They ask the most profound and universal questions: Why am I here? Does life have a meaning? Is there a God? Do I have an immortal soul? What happens when I die? Philosophers have the joy of re-living the wonder of a child.Aerobics for the Mind: Practical Exercises in Philosophy that Anybody Can Do is a book for anyone who still has that unique childlike sense of wonder.
