Breakfast with Socrates: An Extraordinary (Philosophical) Journey Through Your Ordinary Day
by Robert Rowland Smith
by Robert Rowland Smith
The idea of this book intrigued me from the moment I set eyes upon it - take a journey through an ordinary day with the great philosophers as your guide(s) and analyst(s). I thought, "This can either turn out to be amazing, or the most boring book I have ever read!" Well, luckily for me, Mr. Smith is an excellent writer - this book was excellent!
If you are so inclined to ask why certain things need to be done a certain way, or at least why it seems society deems them so, then it sounds like it is time for you pick up this book and see what some of the greatest minds have in terms of explanations for even the most mundane of our daily acts. You will find a nice balance in each chapter as Smith provides multiple philosophies for each aspect of the day.
