We have a fundamental need to understand who we are and the world we live in. Reason takes us a long way, but mystery remains. When our minds and senses are baffled, faith can seem justified—but faith is not knowledge. In Ultimate Questions, acclaimed philosopher Bryan Magee provocatively argues that we have no way of fathoming our own natures or finding definitive answers to the big questions we all face.With eloquence and grace, Magee urges us to be the mapmakers of what is intelligible, and to identify the boundaries of meaningfulness. He traces this tradition of thought to his chief philosophical mentors—Locke, Hume, Kant, and Schopenhauer—and shows why this approach to the enigma of existence can enrich our lives and transform our understanding of the human predicament. As Magee puts it, "There is a world of difference between being lost in the daylight and being lost in the dark."The crowning achievement to a distinguished philosophical career, Ultimate Questions is a deeply personal meditation on the meaning of life and the ways we should live and face death. 000812476 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000812476 650_0 $$aHuman beings. 000812476 650_0 $$aPhilosophical anthropology. 000812476 650_0 $$aOntology. 000812476 650_0 $$aPhilosophy. 000812476 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMagee, Bryan.$$tUltimate questions.$$dPrinceton, New Jersey : Princeton University Press, 2016$$z9780691170657$$w(DLC) 2015034960 000812476 852__ $$bacq 000812476 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000812476 85640 $$3eBooks on EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=1090921$$zOnline Access 000812476 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:812476$$pGLOBAL_SET 000812476 980__ $$aEBOOK 000812476 980__ $$aBIB 000812476 982__ $$aEbook 000812476 983__ $$aOnline 000812476 994__ $$a92$$bISE
