Description

What is freedom? What is real? What is human goodness? It belongs to our nature to ask these questions. We are metaphysical animals. And the answers we give shape what we will become. Written with expertise and flair, ‘Metaphysical Animals’ is a vivid blend of philosophy and recovered history – bringing back the women who shared ideas, as well as sofas, shoes and even lovers. Clare Mac Cumhaill and Rachael Wiseman show how from the disorder and despair of the war, four brilliant friends brought philosophy back to everyday life and a way of ethical thinking that is there for us today.
