The three-minute philosopher : inspiration for modern life
Midal, Fabrice, 1967-2021
Books
Philosophical thinking is the antithesis of the rampant dogmatism that dominates so much public discussion, of the vehemently-expressed opinions of those who think they know everything and who insist you agree with them. Philosophy does not tell us to be 'wise', or to be a perfect being, but instead to nurture our own humanity. Self-proclaimed experts tell us to listen to and obey their injunctions; philosophers encourage us to think for ourselves. Let Fabrice Midal teach you the power of trusting in your own thoughts, as he guides us through the inspirational ideas of 40 writers, artists, thinkers and seers from Baudelaire to Wittgenstein, Emily Dickinson to Toni Morrison, Pablo Picasso to James Baldwin.
