Summary of The Heart of Philosophy Summary of The Heart of Philosophy Reviews for The Heart of Philosophy An Excerpt from The Heart of Philosophy
Philosophy as it is frequently taught in classrooms bears little relation to the impassioned and immensely practical search for self-knowledge conducted by not only its ancient avatars but also by men and woman who seek after truth today. In The Heart of the Philosophy, Jacob Needleman provides a "user's guide" for those who would take philosophy seriously enough to understand its life-transforming qualities.
