The book critiques the current state of philosophy in American higher education, arguing that it has become overly professionalized and disconnected from everyday life. Bruce Wilshire, a pluralist philosopher, advocates for a more meaningful philosophy that resonates with personal experience. Through personal essays, he emphasizes the importance of classic forms of inquiry and seeks to inspire readers to embrace a more authentic way of being, reminiscent of Socratic engagement. Wilshire's accessible style invites a broader audience to reconsider the role of philosophy in their lives.
