Thinking and Being. Philosophy in Life and Experience
Description
Socrates famously claimed "the unexamined life is not worth living." Yet from surfing to sex, playing an instrument to riding a bike, our most joyous moments are not when we are lost in thought, but when we are lost in experience. Do we reflect too much and should we explore being more, or is this a hippie illusion? The Panel Philosopher and author Robert Eaglestone, Coco de Mer founder Sam Roddick, and author of Authenticity is a Con Peter York think about philosophy in life and living in the moment.
