Overview
From “brilliant commentator on the pressing issues and leading ideas of our time” (Ted Gioia) Jared Henderson, a powerful argument that a life of the mind is essential to our humanity
For the ancient philosophers, a life worth living was spent in contemplation of higher ideas that challenged the intellect and nourished the spirit. Our modern world, in contrast, rewards pointless busyness with endless consumption and entertainment. What is lost when we abandon these intellectual labors? Everything, argues Jared Henderson.
The Work of Philosophy offers a path to the life of the mind in our frantic 21st century. But you need not join a monastery or go off into the desert to nurture a rich interior life: anyone can do it with just two hours a day. Henderson’s program draws on examples from Aristotle, Montaigne, Hannah Arendt, Byung-chul Han, C.S. Lewis and more to teach readers to follow a line of inquiry, to read deeply and write with intention, and to create a community that will support you in your intellectual endeavors.
Contemplation is necessary for the cultivation of wonder, curiosity, and joy. Like many great thinkers before you, you can find deep respite and fulfillment in the life of the mind. With a little discipline and the guidance in this book, the philosophical life is open to everyone.
