Aerobics for the Mind: Practical Exercises in Philosophy That Anybody Can Do - Michael Potts

\nPhilosophy begins in wonder.-Aristotle \n\n Remember when you were a child and incessantly asked your parents Why? You still had that childhood gift of wondering about everything from the simple Why can't I touch the stove eye when it's red? to the most profound questions people can ask Why can't I see God if He's real? \n\n A common perception of philosophers is of the wizened old guru, sitting on a mountain top contemplating his navel; or worse, a stodgy, boring intellectual that everyone avoids at parties. But philosophy, at its best, is a joyous profession. Philosophers never stop wondering, why? They ask the most profound and universal questions: Why am I here? Does life have a meaning? Is there a God? Do I have an immortal soul? What happens when I die? Philosophers have the joy of re-living the wonder of a child. \n\n Aerobics for the Mind: Practical Exercises in Philosophy that Anybody Can Do is a book for anyone who still has that unique, childlike sense of wonder.
