Description
What Philosophy Can Do explores how philosophical ideas can help us make sense of modern life's biggest questions and most powerful forces.
Gary Gutting examines contemporary issues through the lens of influential philosophers, from Aristotle to Michel Foucault and John Rawls, introducing readers to key concepts such as inductive and deductive logic and the Principle of Charity.
By applying philosophical tools to current debates, Gutting shows how philosophy can enrich public discussions about our most urgent issues, providing a fresh perspective on politics, science, religion, education, and capitalism.
