Book Description

February 15, 2001
"There is a need for someone to bring that joyful activity of mind we call philosophy to the wider reading public. And de Botton ... writes with verve."--The New York Times Book Review, Jonathan Lear

Blurb in Spanish:
¿Cómo podemos conseguir que la filosofía forme parte de nuestra vida cotidiana? Alain de Botton vuelve a demostrar que la filosofía es una inagotable fuente de consuelo. capaz de inspirarnos y motivarnos a diario. En un fascinante recorrido a través de de 2,400 años de filosofía occidental, el autor recurre a la vida y obra de seis filósofos fundamentales para examinar otros tantos problemas comunes. Sócrates ilustra la impopularidad y Epicuro la falta de dinero. La trayectoria de Séneca es un ejemplo ante la frustración. Montaigne se enfrenta a la ineptitud y Schopenhauer al corazón partido. Por último, Nietzsche nos enseña que hacer ante las dificultades.

Con una singular combinación de ingenio, sabiduría e invención, esta obra es una guía práctica para resolver problemas cotidianos y una deslumbrante introducción a la historia y los usos de la filosofía.
